The Home Office mandarins are petrified to permit the use of soft nosed ammunition in case it leads to allegation of using Dum-Dum rounds and the old favourite “human rights”.Sgt Albert Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08210281538269152672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-24114146613356034842022-10-08T17:10:26.354+01:002022-10-08T17:10:26.354+01:00Taking just one shot with a modern rifle, a proper...Taking just one shot with a modern rifle, a properly trained sniper will hit a small target from a distance of over a mile. Plod aren't military snipers but one hit from their murderous ammunition will rip apart internal organs. Taking six shots from close range before finally bringing the target down, cannot suggest anything other than incompetence/inadequate training. <br /><br />We must have faith that plod 'learned lessons' from that pathetic horse in the field scenario...the one where they ran out of ammo; backup arriving to shoot off a leg and mercifully, a Vet arriving later still, to administer the coup de grâce.<br /><br />Maybe a new training regime is required along the lines of an agricultural barn for a target; plod blasting away from 2 metres and discharging a full salvo from a M134 Vulcan cannon. But what are the odds of the barn remaining unscathed? <br /><br />Off topic, new evidence has emerged today, re the Yassar Yaqub shooting. Evidence imparting a strong whiff of murder by uniformed assassins. Plod doing privately paid 'hits' for rival gangs. This public 'service' can only get worse.MTG1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-19197954815429462282022-10-08T15:33:36.129+01:002022-10-08T15:33:36.129+01:00Damage a police (BMW) car, and you get gunned down...Damage a police (BMW) car, and you get gunned down.<br /><br />Run amok elsewhere, and you can play you Get out of Jail card ...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-59739951881815635692022-10-08T14:40:38.561+01:002022-10-08T14:40:38.561+01:00I seem to recall a previous article here about pol...I seem to recall a previous article here about police marksmen taking thirty shots to kill a rampaging bull. Six shots to incapacitate a man is an improvement. One does wonder where all of the stray shots went.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04672200681678804614noreply@blogger.com
