...he said he did not believe E7 held an ‘honest belief’ that Rodney posed a lethal threat.Odd statement. I mean, if E7 had claimed that he feared Rodney was about to turn into a werewolf, or unsheathe a set of adamantium claws, then I could see his point.
But going for a gun? One of the three later found in the car? Well, isn't that what one might honestly expect a criminal to do, when he ducks down out of sight as police are stopping his car?
Should he have waited until the suspect opened fire on him?
Rodney’s mother said her son was ‘executed’ and demanded an apology from Met Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe.
She added: ‘This report has found that there was no lawful justification for my son’s killing by the police. Azelle’s death was wholly avoidable.Yes, indeed, perhaps if you'd been a more responsible parent, and he'd not been a suspected criminal, travelling in a car with other armed criminals. Don't blame the police. They didn't choose this.
And when did we start to treat as a grieving mother someone who exhibits no shame that her son was a suspected criminal, killed while driving around with armed criminals?
Lawyers for E7, who retired in 2008 to work as a firearms consultant, have already informed Sir Christopher they will seek a judicial review of his ‘irrational’ findings.I suspect they won't win, because the League of Professional Black Criminality Excusers will be clamouring for a scalp, but I hope they do.
The world is a better place without the sort of two-legged human cancer cells like Rodney walking around in it.
Nicely put. Given that there are genuine concerns about the direction of UK policing, genuine concerns that is; it doesn't bode well for the law abiding, taxpaying, great British silent majority to have these concerns waylaid by left wing, anti-police, anti-establishment, anti-law and order pressure groups, money grabbing lawyers, race-mongers and a Tory prime minister getting revenge for the failure of the ridiculous Sheehy report of the mid-90'.
ReplyDeleteLawrence, Duggan, Azell and every large black schizophrenic male off his meds who has died whilst the only agency trying to help him and protect others etc etc over the last 35 years PLUS now the growing storm over dead babies names and undercover police/security services work.
WTF is going on ?
The 'black community' for starters surely must stop all this victimhood/police racism bollocks. It hasn't changed since the Notting Hill riots of the late 50's....but the police service has...have they not seen the rainbow coalition of races, creeds, gender and sexuality now making up the modern farce? yet still they want MORE black officers. How is that really going to help if they can't do the frigging job properly?
Still....the lawyers will be happy.
Makes no sense. As soon as they found the guns in the car he was in the clear as far as I was concerned and I'm very much Anti Plod executioners.
ReplyDeleteI think they had better Plod executions to convict on but they chose this one. Why?
My spider sense is tingling.
The one person not mentioned is the victim - if the police had done nothing - because it could have been me or you facing this armed criminal.
ReplyDeleteFor that I give grateful thanks to the officers involved in protecting the real victim/s in this.
Poor chap,there he was on the way to the orphanage to deliver presents and the nasty policeman stopped him just because he was black.

ReplyDeleteJust a point regarding the first comment I would argue the left is the establishment these days.
" ..... there was no lawful justification for my son’s killing by the police. " said she, salivating at the prospect of an immense 'compensation' windfall, promised by her NWNF lawyers.
ReplyDeleteI watched the excellent 'End of Watch' on DVD last night.....food for thought. Not there yet...won't be long.
ReplyDeleteE7, who incidentally is rumoured to be a Masonic Pierrepoint, has three official kills to his credit and four as yet, unconfirmed.
ReplyDeletePlod can relish any prospect of a Lodge trial and acquittal. Just in the peripheral vision and as our pointless comments appear, a State 'thank you' package of staggering enormity may have already reached the final draft stage.
Let's give the mother a big compensation package.
ReplyDeleteThen let's deduct the following;
1)Cost of the shot criminals previous times in prison.
2)Compensation for the two people he had stabbed the year before and was being chased for those crimes
3)The cost of imprisoning his two accomplices that were lucky not to be shot but pleaded guilty.
4)Money for the trauma that Colombian drug dealers suffered that he was going to rob before the nasty policeman stopped him.
The compensation should be about even.

i fink it to much cos its our own shooter jaded innit
ReplyDelete"The 'black community' for starters surely must stop all this victimhood/police racism bollocks."
ReplyDeleteAnd yet, it benefits them. Why would they stop?
So we need to start making sure it doesn't.
"I think they had better Plod executions to convict on but they chose this one. Why?"
Well, indeed.
"...I would argue the left is the establishment these days."
That 'long march through the institutions is complete.. :/
"I watched the excellent 'End of Watch' on DVD last night.....food for thought. Not there yet...won't be long."
ReplyDeleteI've not seen that one yet. Must catch it on Sky.
"The compensation should be about even."
Oh, I think she'd end up owing us!

Make your mind up Julia.
"BRAZILIAN PLUMBERS ON THE TUBE, any one??"
ReplyDeleteA mistaken ID & faulty communication. Plus lousy handling by Cressida Whatsherface.
Not applicable here.
XX XX Should he have waited until the suspect opened fire on him? XX
ReplyDeleteWhat IS applicable, is the question.
Open fire first. Is the rule, (Or SHOULD be!) It's a bloody gun they have given you, it ios NOT for lighting cigarrettes.
Let the courts sort out the rest, at least you can defend your decission. You can not do that when you have hesitated on the wrong call.
