The Met Police are indeed recruiting the wrong kind of officers. 20 years ago, here in the UK, our police forces (now called police services) valued brave men, ex armed forces types, etc. These days, they prefer university 'educated' (indoctrinated, wet-wipe) types.

Go soft on crime and the causes of crime.... crime goes thorough the roof! It's not rocket science.

I'm not quite sure why this incident in Paris gets posted in this thread? But, just comply with police requests. If an armed police officer is pointing a sub-machine gun at your chest and tells you to stop....just stop! Do as you are told!!!

I'd personally rather armed police didnt stop me, with a gun pointing at me, if that is ok?

Good job the government are “investing money into the NHS”. That’ll get the morale up for these people who dedicate their life to helping all other people in their community, you know… like an expense-claiming MP proports to do when he’s got a moat to sustain!
Never known it's any other way since I started work in the NHS 1996, that's working with NHS and now working within NHS be it paid for the local authority (council). Always been staff funded tea coffee fund etc.

My wife (worked at Addenbrookes for 6 years) told me the same this morning that she’d never had anything paid for. She also told me that herself and other members in the comms and marketing department would frequently have to pay for printer cartridges/ paper as well… Everything designed to grind these selfless people down, sickening.

I worked in the NHS for 18 months. It was the worst experience of my career and pushed me on to make sure I never ended up in a place like that again. I also was only permitted to have water. Anything else you had to bring your own. Even my breaks were monitored. Anything more than 10 minutes and they docked half an hour of your pay. When I tell people about it, they don't believe me, but it happened.

Yes, that's ok. But, have you ever been stopped by armed police? I haven't. None of my family or friends have. Most people haven't. Armed police officers don't just stop people at random and point guns at them for no reason.

They will point a firearm at you if you are behaving in a way that is as immediate threat to life.

Lest you all forget, we have an unarmed police force (service). Armed police will only respond to the most serious incidents.

Almost like there's a pattern...

But clearly they do stop people for seemingly no reason. Indeed you were saying for people not to drive off if you have an armed police officer stopping you. Why are armed police officers going to stop me? It's a valid question.

Like I'm not being horrible, but I'm not sure what a 17 year old lad, in a car, driving slowly is any threat to life.

It's effective, intelligence-led policing. But, it clashes with politically correct governance, so it doesn't happen as often as it should.

If people who live in any given area and are more likely to be a victim of stabbings or serious assaults, it makes sense to stop more people in that area.

What intelligence would suggest a 17 year old, driving a car slowly is an imminent threat to life?

And where is the logic in thinking someone might assault someone, so you shoot them? That makes no sense to me.

Christ if I shot someone every time I thought someone might assault someone, there would be multiple murders each year. You can't police on that basis.

Legal age for for a full driving license in France is 18yrs.
Imo 17 yo youths in cars are always a potential threat to life.

There's also the catch 22 of his perceived situation, is the policeman pointing a handgun to his temple because in his other hand he has a semi automatic pointed at someone else, so he in that case is the threat to life...

I'm alright jack, it aint me or my kids murdered by a completely unaccountable armed up heavy mob...
