“He replied ‘go home and go back to the kids.’”
Lovely...
Met Police officers, London Ambulance Service (LAS) paramedics and three fire engines were on standby for more than three hours, after all being called at around 8pm.
Sidcup High Street was closed in both directions between Elm Road and Christchurch Road throughout the incident.
It's
the modern way.
One firearms officer with a baton gun, I fire rescue unit with net and 1 Amb on standby should have been sufficient without the need to inconvenience the denizens of Sidcup and beyond for hours. My preferred option would be i x sniper and 1 x Co-Op funeral Director private ambulance
ReplyDeleteMy preferred option would be barriers around the pavement to prevent innocent pedestrians walking under where a body could fall; and, …………err that's it.
ReplyDeleteThree fire engines? Were they expecting him to spontaneously combust?

No fuckin' wonder the Taliban are winning!
Get a bleeding GRIP on yourselves!
Why not just ignore him. Sooner or later he will come down or just starve to death.
ReplyDeleteSadly, if the latter, no Darwin award. But the tax payer would have saved a few pennies.
They need to stop pussy-footing around and negotiating with these scroats. I could've talked him down in 5 minutes!
ReplyDeleteItems required:
1. Don't send a cop - frankly, they're pretty crap at this sort of thing now days.
2. A firm, commanding voice.
3. The words "You've got 3 minutes to get off my roof".
4. A powerful fire hose.
5 Handcuffs or a shovel.
"My preferred option would be i x sniper and 1 x Co-Op funeral Director private ambulance"
ReplyDeleteMine too!
"Three fire engines? Were they expecting him to spontaneously combust?"
Heh!
"His choice, his consequences."
Sadly, these days, the avoidance of consequences is a watchword with all public sector organisations...
"Why are so many people "Worried/scared/frightened/etc these days?"
So they can feature on APILN, of course!
