Are British Police Inept.?

Question

Their handling of the East London raid was dreadful.
Did they not learn anything fron the tube station shooting last year?

Answer 1

Inept yes. 100% agree with you. If i had been leading that raid and was on the stairs when that turd was coming down them. It would have been more than his shoulder that my bullet would have hit. Maybe the next time the British Police do a Raid. The people will stay where they are in the house and not wander around it when there are armed men in their House. A Bit of Common sense helps keep the Bullets away.

Answer 2

The tube shooting was utterly utterly bizarre. A guy, carrying nothing it seems now, not in any hurry either, just happens to live in the wrong building. A policeman loses the target cos he has to go and take a pee, is panicked, so has everyone on alert, until he's followed to the tube where he's SHOT 8 TIMES!

Surely, if you're given the order to kill a guy, if it was obvious the man was of absolutely no danger to anyone, (and that much was obvious to every eyewitness), you would question that order! They're not the army. We're not at war!

The UK police just don't see enough action I think so they fly into overdrive at the slightest hint of trouble.
I saw SIX policeman chase down a kid who'd stolen a gumball machine from a shopping centre, saw FOUR police physically jump on a guy for going through a gate with no ticket, and was pulled over on a street lined with about FIFTEEN officers all trying to catch people out at a new 'No Left Turn' sign.

There are just too many bored and trigger happy cops out there.

Answer 3

In Britain it's not only the police that are inept,the whole country is totally incompent.It's unable to develop an efficient road or rail infrastructure.Has a rubbish health service and though sopping wet can't even supply many of its natives with a reasonable amount of water.If my memory serves me correctly,since the time British police have been allowed to carry guns they have shot more innocent people than villains.

Answer 4

Right ask yourself the question ' if there was a chemical explosive ready to be used on the unsuspecting public and the police sat back whilst they made further investigations, then this device was set of in the middle of London killing hundreds of people, would you then blame the police for not going in straight away ?' i think the answer to this is yes the public would blame them, and I'm all for going in and asking questions later its a safer option - evidence of this is in the handling of the 9/11 hijackers the CIA had evidence that it was going to happen and who was going to do it but because they waited (trying to get more evidence) the terrorists succeeded

Answer 5

(1)There is not a stuation so dire and desperate that could not be made a whole lot worse by the presence of a policeman.
(2) It is not possible to overestimate the stupidity of the police.
Having said that. I would not like to live in a world where they wern't here. Grunt Grunt.

Answer 6

British Police?Ha Ha.They forgot policing

Answer 7

They do appear to be. I think more training should be put in place and only the most senior of police be able to fire the guns when required. They are exceedingly efficient to book motorists etc but as for catching criminals no way. It is more profitable to fine speeding motorists or illegally parked motorists. As for anything else they are very dangerous when armed without enough research on their target.

Answer 8

you have to look at this from a viewpoint of it's better to to be safe than sorry... the tube shooting in my humble opinion, was a cockup but if he had been a bomber I would have shot him myself. the blokes were given orders shoot... end of... and what about all the heroes on the day the bombs didn't go off watching these people running away from smoking bags , wot no rugby players there to tackle them? I would have and bitten them to death with my own teeth...

Answer 9

i think of they have finished the two. They helped by utilising making it common, yet i think of it became too properly-common, in case you get what I mean. All this exposure, incredibly the attention to the attention, potential that the abductor won't take her exterior for worry of her being known, so she will the two be held interior, or the abductor has had his evil way, and has killed her. all and sundry is calling out for her, that will strengthen the warning of the kidnapper. i think of that they helped by utilising making the universal public attentive to her, yet they hindered it by utilising exposing it plenty that the kidnapper won't enable her exterior, so there is way less possibility of her being chanced on. I purely wish and pray that she is chanced on secure and correctly.

Answer 10

I have found the British police to be exceptionally polite and careful. But they are human and do make mistakes, sometimes.
