Not a case of COULD more a case of Conservatives are about to sink like the titanic FAST!!! GOOD BYE CONSERVATIVES 👋

Lets address ukraine is getting closer to the west. Who exactly do you mean? With over 600,000 ukrainians dead and millions of ukrainians escaping the nazis regime and war, then who is left? Your only talking about a small minority of ukrainians that have become very rich off the handouts and the destruction of ukraine. Most of it now belongs to western investors like blackrock, who with every conflict since the gulf war has become more and more powerful, they will own more assets than the US or China soon. The premise of your point is based on complete fiction, manufactured to deceive, this is the state of hybrid warfare and the capture of corporate media. The standard of journalism has hit rock bottom, as dumb as they get.

Good headline. Police often write inaccurate reports to cover their dishonesty. Often. How many lies would be written to cover up bad shootings, same as the US. You’ll start to see those same police ‘mass shootings’ as in the US, where if one officer shoots then they all do, to cover up what happened and to cover for the first shooter and to blur who the actual murderer was.

you are missing the point with the Police. the new qualifier for recruitment is ---- Not police skills ---- potential ruthlesness and on the proper side of the current political rhetoric. I am sure you can figure how useful they are to a totalitarian regime like the one that is developing in the UK.

Another BS from Sean Bell, so Sean why not send your British soldiers in to fight the Russian's you are still you why not go and fly some warplanes there, smh!!. This is the same man who was kicked out of Saudi Arabia for his arrogance.

Not with the amount of police officers being exposed as rapists and child abuser. Absolutely Not! They already abuse their power

If we could trust the calibre of those recruited to the police force, then I don’t think I’d object to *tasers* being standard issue. They ought to be able to defend themselves and others, but it all comes down to trust.

I'm thoroughly impressed by the level of engagement in this thread. It's akin to witnessing a vibrant marketplace of ideas.😚

I suggest you look as northern ireland as the example. ALL officers are routinely armed. There arent too many people shot by police officers. Check the stats....

Kennedy is no more a "Kennedy" than Mary Trump is like "the Donald".

can we trust the police at all .?

when do we think is a good use of taizers ?

BIG NOOOOO

Times Radio guy looks like a Russky ...

Im afraid if you got rid of some officers you just wouldnt have enough,policeing is not a desirable vocation anymore, and a lot of police dont want to carry guns

There are four Hamas battalions there.

Just the fact this is getting mentioned is disturbing trying to make the UK like America? we know what the cops get like there on there power trips how about equipment police with chainmail or any type of stab proof sliced proof material and then they can attack all these knife sword Crazies head on and not all police should have tasers only the will trained one's because they can be deadly to

A police officer has tasered a blind man because he thought his stick was a samurai sword

our gov wants a ruthless police to beat us up everytime we are not behaving like sheep.

Agree not every police officer. Most are decent and hardworking but just like soldiers there is a big element risk in these jobs.

our society transforming step by step into a 1984 dystopia --- the Tought-Police had a similar tooling to hurt people into submission.

Police officers should not be armed unless they are specifically trained and required to be armed for a particular reason. i dont wanna see NOBODY walking around in London armed "just in case" that is INSANITY.

Well spies will be jailed hahahah his not coming back home what you doing in Russia? Hahahaha stay home people or not cry about the gulag hahah

BAN GAMES WITH VIOLENCE SCENES TO START WITH... BUT ...THIS IS MONEY TO A GROUP OF GREEDY LUNATICS OBSESSED WITH MONEY

good englih name

Extremely enlightening .Thank you for posting

Kennedy is the best candidate in 55 years, he's dedicated his life to fighting for people and planet and to fighting corruption. People need to listen to him in long form interviews and tune out of all these propagandists from both sides who want to keep the uniparty gravy train going for their corporate donors. You say his brothers and sisters but fail to mention that those people work for Biden. There are 150 Kennedy's. He had 40 family members at his announcement and 15-20 family members, his nieces and nephews, working on his campaign

Even us progressive Democrats in the USA (all the political circles in NYC and DC) can see the hypocrisy, the lies, the vicious attacks on the Princess of Wales by the Sussexes - and we're disgusted by it. Markle already tried to get Feinstein's vacancy and was trying to build a war chest in her meetings with JP Getty. The Getty family put the kibosh on that - and Michelle Obama made sure PERSONALLY that Markle did NOT get that Feinstein seat in the Senate. Typical ghoulish behavior of Markle. Not the first time she tried to profit off the dead. Her use of the MURDERS OF 19 SCHOOLCHILDREN in Ulvalde for her stinking PR turned off so many people on both sides of the spectrum.

You say pensioner's get more than enough he should try living on it also uk pensions have the lowest pensions In the developed world apart from Chile and Brazil

Ah yeah, because that works so well in America, no shootings in America, right?

I believe Putin is reducing his military capacity so substantially in Ukraine that China will never have a better opportunity to take on Russia than right now.

Why can’t they get them out of Crimea. If you were in charge. Yes…it would be impossible.

So why has our less than bright fearless Ukranian military leaders not attacked the Crimea bridge yet? Let me rephrase that. Why have the Americans not attacked the Crimea. I don't think Americans would let the incompetant Ukrainians any say in this. Then again I don't think The American 'advisers' are much brighter. Follow my logic . The Ukrainians attack the Crimea S400 systems to degrade them with ATCMs. They say there was damage to four S400 systems. I don't see any evidence for this in the satellite photos by the way. Lets just for instance they were successful. So what should you do logically next? Go after the Crimea bridge with the long range ATCMs. Why wait for Russia to either repair or replace the s400 systems? Unlike the Ukrainians The Russia's could easily replace these systems. Every morning I check my sources to see if the attack was done overnight. Nothing. Why? It's in the May holidays for the Russians and supposedly the S400 systems have been destroyed or damaged. So we have a conundrum . So using logic could it be that the attack on the S400's was not as successful as first reported, and the majority were shot down? Now the Americans are saying "gee our new wonder weapon is not quite as good as we told everyone it was " It probably won't be able to destroy the Crimea bridge. We need to resssess.

It’s ironic that a former police boss who last worked response years and years ago before sitting in an ivory tower should be the one to be trusted on her opinion. I’m sure if faced with a violent knife man she would not want a sidearm… tasers don’t always work and other than that your in hand to hand combat. I feel sorry for bobbies.

Slava Ukrayïni!

The police can,t even get recruiting people of a decent standard to do the job right or even give the impression of being profesional. Every time some thing happens its the same ''give us more power'' so we can abuse those powers.

This lady actually talks sense, she understands the power of the diversity hire with first hand experience.

WE SO NEED REFORM UK TO GET OUR COUNTRY BACK.

There is no way we will send that to Ukraine. That would demonstrate whether or not it works and even if it did, the Ukrainians would end up donating one or more to Russia.

And this punk is running for president??????? Thank you, Kris Mayes, the Arizona Attorney General.

Agreed. Do you people really think that Trump, a professional criminal, the first insurrectionist in the history of the USA, has no more than a tiny little bit of intelligence certainly not to be president. Americans are crazy, not Trump you guys for allowing him to run for president! If he wins America deserves it but will lose all respect from all of us around the world, period!

You would be stopped for speeding and have a taser pointed at you for officer safety. Worse still handguns. Most women confuse their left and right hands, so instead of taking, they shoot you.

this women talking doesn't have a clue what is really going on or she is deliberately deceiving herself and others

Putin didnt start the conflict, that was in 2014 following the coup of ukrainian democracy with an attack on the dombass region, killing thousands of their innocent russian speaking citizens. Dont be a shmuch, it is clear the west was responsible for the violent coup supporting the white supremacist minority of Ukraine. Putin then held off from responding for 7 years, while 10's of thousands were killed by nazis and western intelligence agencies. The BBC are an absolute joke, this would be better read on jackanory.

China can lump it.

Censoring of the comments going on on here for some reason

This lack of law and order on our streets stems from our corrupt politicians over the years handing the streets over to drug dealers and gangs of so called postcode gangs. Blame the government and the rest of those politicians it’s their meddling that has brought about this mess in our country

The land is palestianians colonised by Zionist worshippers of golden calf by Balfour declaration as repayment to Zionist Lord Roschilds for financial aid for two world wars

The normal police should be big strong lads and not the pansies and girls that we got now,, who need weapons to function. The armed police should be used in situations where the perpetrator has a weapon.

as soon as you start handing out weapons.. a persons voice becomes less important. next thing you know you will have a taser pointed at you for going 5 miles over the speed limit.. what would have been a regular interaction suddenly becomes much more tense and aggressive. if a violent crime is reported then of course the policemen who show up should be equipt to deal with it. but should all of them just have them on their belts? absolutely not.. were not america.
