We can't have the police going round shooting gangsters, everybody knows only other gangsters are allowed to do that! If anybody is planning a 'riot' in protest I'd like a new 32" tv and an Xbox One S (Minecraft bundle only) please.

Without any hint of facetiousness - how do you know that? Have you seen some news that I haven't seen?

It's because the Police did it and are automatically in the wrong. They are supposed to hit him on the arm with their trusted truncheon before he picks his gun up and shoots them.

If it had been a fellow criminal shooting him these do gooders wouldn't be commenting.



Well done W York Police.

Two rather extreme viewpoints; all before any official verdict from the IPCC.



WIZEB made such a strong statement about this being an execution - I felt sure he must have some information that I'd yet to see. Having done a bit of research however, there is no such information in the public domain, so it's just his view.

The Police need to keep knocking 'them' over. Anyone with a gun used for criminal purposes needs to understand that at any point they could be a piece of lead heavier. The public or the Police should not be put a risk.

As I said - quite extreme views either in opposition or support of this action, without any actual facts about what happened. Interesting.

We know enough. The guy had a lengthy history of drugs, violence and intimidation. A pistol, bullets and suppressor were at his feet. His buddy has been charged.



And despite some the stupid claims in this thread, our police forces are anything but "trigger-happy". The tiny proportion of weapon discharges per armed police operation is staggering.



But for our precious snowflake Wizeb, let's not forget 'Armed Drug Dealer Lives Matter'.

You could always try a private prosecution or a citizens arrest:if you feel strongly about it.





They seem to have stopped 'executing ' them though.So now in a country short of money they can waste lots and lots of it on a court case and ensuring he gets free entertainment,food and drink and can have a riot when he feels like it,and sell and use lots of drugs.

PS - If it's so bad in this country - please leave!

The telling piece for me is just how little the press have made of it. When you think back to Duggan etc.



I think its good proportionate policing. I'm thankful to the police that this is dead and no longer a threat to me, the public in general or the Police.

The Sin Bin has nearly come out of cardiac arrest.

Keep up the good work campers.

Well, it does go to show that attitude and preconceptions affect our view.

I am not sure that ' he deserved it' has any merit in law.

I was not there and don't know the facts, along with everyone on here I assume, but I too was left with doubt based on the scant info I did get.



The man had a gun. The man was clearly a danger. Chances are in the extreme he could be shot and probably killed. He was killed.



A planned operation, hopefully the objective was to stop him and arrest him. If so, the outcome was not achieved, so an investigation will ensue.



Close-grouped shots through a windscreen show he was shot sitting bolt upright in the drivers seat.

So not ducking and diving then.

If he had the gun in his hand at that time in VIEW then he is a threat ... he could be toast ... he is a bit stupid or concerned that his life is at risk from some hoodlums in plain cars.

But these are plain clothes firearms officers who presumably let him know otherwise and advise him on how to give himself up.

They are calm, they are trained, not trigger-happy in any regard.



What I find let's the police down is the vague politician talk that is dripped out.

A gun is found in the car ...

But where?

It bloody matters.

It had better have been near the driver, because if it's found in the boot it ain't good.



Hopefully the investigation will help get at the truth.



If one buys into the 'an officer felt threatened so shot' type of 'evidence' as an investigator, then lessons may well not be learned.

All I would hope for is that lessons are learned.



The police record is excellent, but not always crystal clear.

Live by the sword, die by the sword. No tears from me.



Should law enforcements stop killing people? I'm not really aware of that many incidents in the U.K. In recent times but in the USA, for sure. My "favourite" one was the execution of a deaf man who was reaching for a card to show the police officers he was deaf. Pumped about 20 bullets into him. Probably received a medal for it too
