[QUOTE=Broseph_;18021820]What about killing Unarmed Brazilians on Subways?[/QUOTE] To be honest, the guy shouldn't have run in the first place. I know they were undercover police, but if they were pointing guns at me yelling STOP! POLICE! Then I'm pretty sure running away wouldn't be on my mind.
It's funny how armed UK cops always look so jumpy and afraid.
[QUOTE=Doctor_Communism;18024326]It's funny how armed UK cops always look so jumpy and afraid.[/QUOTE] It's because they are given UNLIMITED POWER!
Whats the big deal? Its not like the cops are going around shooting everyone.
[QUOTE=Doctor_Communism;18024326]It's funny how armed UK cops always look so jumpy and afraid.[/QUOTE] I'd have to disagree with you there, officers especially in London look like they're out to kill.
London policemen are awesome. (If you disagree watch hot fuzz)
[QUOTE=Doctor_Communism;18024326]It's funny how armed UK cops always look so jumpy and afraid.[/QUOTE] The armed policemen I see standing outside Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace look pretty badass with their tall custodian helmets, white short-sleeved shirts and bulletproof vests (not those stab proof ones).
[QUOTE=Leg of Doom;18023174]they shold just bomb london its full of black kids with guns crime would go down 90%[/QUOTE] I live in London, the majority of the crime happens in east London.
I find this amusing because my girlfriend wants to become a police officer (Now THAT's a scary thought), and she's quite athletic and such, and has thought that if she ever gets the chance, she might join CO-19 or some of the more specialised riot response units. And, I actually think this is a good thing, the areas in question are very bad for gangs of kids, often with some forms of firearms, and they are taking control of their areas. The police need to show a firm hand in dealing with them, and if that hand has to be clutching a gun, so be it. Shoot a couple of the little shits until they get the message. Edit: Oh, and she already knows how to handle firearms. Her Mum's Boyfriend has a license (being as he's a farmer, and they're one of our few exceptions for guns) and she regularly goes shooting with him around the farm.

I used to live south of London by around 20 miles, placed called Heywards Heath. Because my Dad was doing his PhD and later was teaching at King's College in London. He got shot once, going to get the train back home, though it was with an air rifle. I think it was eventually found it was a group of students he caught cheating in an exam he was invigilating. They hit the light of the zebra crossing, and then the back of his shoulder.

[QUOTE=angelangel;18024458]God damn you must see them a lot. If only I were closer to the UK. :saddowns:[/quote] [editline]10:01PM[/editline] The problem is, because they're so well disciplined they don't say anything back to the occassional yob that start yelling and laughing at them through the gate. I wish they would just point their rifles at them and see how they react.
It's about damn time we have armed police, that'll sort those chavs out. hopefully :ohdear:
So they're gonna kill crackheads with kalashnikovs? [img_thumb]Super vague movie reference[/img_thumb]
[QUOTE=AwesomeDino;18021081]I don't mind respecting other people's rights but if it's interfering with the law then it's fucking stupid.[/QUOTE] Think about what you just said for a second "The law should respect people's rights unless their rights are in the way"
Now we shall riot
[QUOTE=ambershee;18020873]Hooray, time for more repetitions of London MET officers shooting random suspects multiple times in the head, only this time, with bigger, more dangerous weapons. There are no such 'no go zones' in the UK, just areas that are dodgier than others.[/QUOTE] I think you'll find there's areas of Britain full of gang and gun crime which are "no go zones" because Police are shot at. Don't be so naive and alarmist.

[QUOTE=Mbbird;18021444]Yeah well I don't know about you but I don't see any firemen walking around anyway. :downs:[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Squeaken;18021469]Firemen wait in firestations.[/QUOTE] D'aww that's so cute. It's like the big boys have all made their point, and then Squeaken mutters out of his corner "Firemen wait in firestations. :downs:"
Instead of guns, they should have megaphones so they can talk things trough.

Women are weak compared to men.
My little Brits are growing up. I'm so proud of them.
[QUOTE=ssa gib A;18030480]My little Brits are growing up. I'm so proud of them.[/QUOTE] We invented you, mate. Now off to bed.
[QUOTE=Morbo!!!;18024225]It DOES say that they're SMGs though, but the G36C (It has a G36 style carrying handle and optics system in this photo, but is too short to be a G36K) is generally classed as one, as is the AKS74U which fires the same round as the AK74. Not sure about the rifle in the foreground though. I doubt it's a Colt M4. The receiver and stock seem different. I think this post is pretty redundant Oh yeah, and it is a stock photo, so that makes this even more pointless.[/QUOTE] the AKS-74U and G36C and K aren't classed as SMGs, they fall into the Carbine Category since they still fire rifle rounds.
[QUOTE=Aman V;18030462]Pretty sure women are not allowed into units like that. Women are weak compared to men.[/QUOTE] No, there are women in CO-19.
I have mixed feelings about this...I can understand the need to have armed patrols in especially dangerous areas, but I don't want it to start catching on elsewhere. A bunch of antisocial teenagers doesn't warrant coppers wandering around with guns - armed gangs yes, chavs no.
[QUOTE=MachiniOs;18023927]But he ran, any normal guy would probably just say it wasn't him or he's innocent.[/QUOTE] Well aren't you a sheep, He never ran, there's CCTV cameras proving that he was walking all jolly like, acting all normally before getting tackled by CO-19 and shot 7 times whilst being held down by 10 plain clothes policemen.
Kind of off-topic, but I've always found it funny that you can hardly carry as much ammo as a typical weapon can shoot per minute.
