Why British Armed Police 'Would Rather Shoot Terrorists Than Gangsters'

In this episode of Crime Suspect, the topic of the intense scrutiny on armed police officers' use of fatal force iis discussed. The Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Sir Mark Rowley, has called for urgent reforms to make things fairer for officers who can face years of scrutiny over their handling of life and death incidents. The issue at hand is whether this scrutiny is making it impossible for armed police officers to do their jobs effectively and if it is compromising public safety.
The discussion centred around the fact that armed police officers face extensive legal backlash and scrutiny when involved in fatal incidents. In contrast, there have been six terrorists shot dead in four major incidents in London since 2017, and not a single firearms officer was arrested or subjected to long probes by the Independent Office for Police Conduct. The question then arises: why should armed police officers face more scrutiny than those dealing with terrorists?
One argument is that the current level of scrutiny restricts armed police officers from using their powers properly. The fear of legal consequences and years of investigation can prevent them from effectively facing suspects who may be armed. The process of scrutiny, which involves discipline, inquiry, inquest, and criminal proceedings, can take years to complete, leaving officers on restricted duties and unable to use their firearms in the meantime.
Former armed police officer, Tony Long, who has faced extensive scrutiny and stood trial for the murder of Azelle Rodney before being acquitted, shared his experience. He explained how the scrutiny affected him and questioned whether it was fair. Long's case highlighted the issue of timing and the need for more efficient and quicker scrutiny in investigations.

We need to get the 'Grievance Studies' graduates out of the Police FORCE, and restore it to what it used to be. Notice how this female senior police officer's first instinct is 'relativist': denying that there is 'right' and 'wrong'. From what is said here, she prefers to describe the shot criminal as "someone's son"; rather than a "wrong-un". Why is that? What kind of 'fast-track' educational indoctrinational pathway did she follow to get her qualifications? Perhaps she received 'training' from COMMON PURPOSE? This is the mentality which refuses to deal with Pakistani Muslim rape-gangs, and cannot define what a 'terrorist' is.

[@jonathanfoster1270]

These police firearms incidents of course should be investigated but much more of the onus needs to be on the criminal suspect, they need to realise, they need to carefully comply with armed officers for instructions or they run the very real risk of being shot, for an armed officer to have to make split second life and death decisions, where to hesitate could mean his death is not the way to go. I want the police to do their job and the public to support them, it's the police not doing their job I can't tollerate

[@EsTornino77]

The criminal is someone's son, someone's loved one, yes, that may be true, what about the police officer that risks his life for a lousy paycheck, he has a family to. Like the police officer said, the man made a decision to be a criminal , therefor you risk getting injured along the way,. She wants to turn it around. You as a police officer should have known better etc.. uhuh. The criminal could also made another choice in life. Work for a living, raising a family, staying out of trouble. Law abiding citizens don't get shot by police officers. She has never been in any life threatening decisions, like Tony asked. In the last few years we are living in an upside world. The police is the one to be watched, and the criminal is the one who needs protection. Therefor crime is at an all time high. It's a very disturbing trend in Western countries.

[@scottyscotty4558]

Using a firearm on a suspect is the last resort and a resort that most likely will not be necessary in the majority of situations. We are a country without firearms readily available, unlike the u.s.a , therefore strict scrutiny is required of the officers who use their firearm on suspects. I've seen F.A.O patrolling the streets of Manchester with their weapon at the ready position, similar to soldiers patrolling in Afghanistan. This is ridiculous on every level and just highlights the type of authoritarian personality who wants to be a F.A.O.

[@NB_2390]

Firearms may not be 'readily available', but believe it or not, bad guys do sometimes have them. Whether a real firearm, reactivated or converted one, or even a 3D printed one. As for your mental image of patrolling techniques, overt patrols are usually where intelligence suggests a potential threat, like a terrorist attack. Ever heard of Borough Market? If AFOs weren't patrolling a certain area, response times would be so much slower

Yes because police get backlash from the courts and judges for doing their job. Their the ones responsible for making the police woke and not actually arresting and jailing people who should be jailed. Like the Rochdale grooming gangs. I said this for years if we had American police her for one week and had 5 huge prisons like El Salkvador have done, crime would go down by a good 85%ish, because there would be consequences for crime not like this, the police are useless, is security officers and Doorman are more protected than the police do prevent crime and we dont even have their powers. We still get backlash but more as a business than a government body.

[@karinburt8168]

[@153SCORN]

A police officer only has 1/2 a second to shoot or be shot. In some cases the police officer has the option of getting cover, in which they can say why did you not take cover and allow a situation to mature. Cover should always be used!!! This gives, space, time and perspective as well as protection for a favorable outcome. The issue is that when police are involved in a chase. They no longer have cover. Therefore they are compelled to act with deadly force the movement they see a gun in the hand. This is also the case in close quarters. As soon as physical aggression is made towards the police, then its just a matter of time before shots will be fired. Another miss conception. Police are public servants. I believe the real answer is NO. Police are the enforcement of the law. No matter who you are, when you are in a confrontation with police. You are effectively in a confrontation with the law. The law is unyielding, its nobodies servant. (Protect and serve a violent criminal, this woman is out of her mind) Another miss conception. Police are not obliged to protect. They can chose not to intervein, this means choosing not to use guns.

The publics perception of firearms officers has a lot to do with the way they conduct themselves. In the clips you have shown is the perfect example. They are all behaving like western gun slingers with pistols and ammo strapped to their thighs clasping their automatic rifles to their chests! then when they do go into action they are extremely assertive with the public who are not involved in any criminality! They appear to have no filter so they can distinguish the good from the bad! That attitude is widespread across the police in the UK when they are there to serve the people not to bully and intimidate!

[@stevemariner6768]

Western gun slingers? This isn’t a personal choice, that is standard equipment for units that do rapid response work. They’re not trying to look a certain way, it’s about having equipment that allows you to do your job properly and respond to whatever situation they may face, be that armed criminals, terrorists or whatever. When they “go into action” they’re extremely assertive because their job is aggressive, crowds act like sheep and need motivating to move sometimes to keep them safe. For the job they do aggressive people are actually desirable. Granted I’ve never been a firearms officer but I’ve done some similar stuff in the military. People need to realise that there are jobs within policing that require that type of attitude and a certain personality for it. The last thing Britain’s police forces should be doing now is bending the knee to even more minorities and snowflakes.
