[quote=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/lancashire/8276105.stm]A suspected armed robber has been shot and seriously injured by police firearms officers in Lancashire. Greater Manchester Police (GMP) were in Haslingden on Friday night in an operation connected to a series of armed robberies. They fired an unspecified number of shots after making contact with three suspects on Blackburn Road. One man was shot and taken to hospital. All three were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit armed robbery. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) was immediately informed and is handling the investigation. The incident took place at 2200 BST on Friday during what was described as a "pre-planned operation" by GMP's Serious and Organised Crime group. [/quote] This happened in my town, really close to where I live. At first I heard it was some gang shit but I feel better that it was the police shooting people.

[QUOTE=Goldenspoon;17510114]Only in America.[/QUOTE] cause the UK and America are totally the same thing.
I saw the title and thought 'Meh," as this is pretty common in the States. Then I read the OP and still thought Meh." Maybe if the cops shot a clown or someone famous or something I'd be less apathetic.

Don't click the thread then if you don't think its worthy
[QUOTE=Boba_Fett;17512965]Police can use deadly force in the UK?[/QUOTE] No if some madman is shooting at innocent civilians with an assault rifle they can only approach with batons
Don't understand why this is news :/
[QUOTE=Boba_Fett;17512965]Police can use deadly force in the UK?[/QUOTE] If by "deadly", you mean harsh words and a baton, then yes.

Wait, "suspicion of conspiracy to commit armed robbery"? That's a pretty bullshit charge.

Come on, this is gotta have better news, then normality of a robber getting shot, or a robber robbing a bank. Whoppie-do.
