The highest rank?  :wtf:

That's just plain stupid. What moron would promote a guy, who, in some manner, possibly indirectly, ordered the death of some random guy.

Even worse, they're still not sure if the promoted guy is innocent! :mad:

If nothing else, doing this before the matter was completely settled was a bad PR move by the Police. They'd have to have been pretty bloody stupid not to see this kind of response to it, so I wonder what they are thinking....

Perhaps that they want her off the firearms squad, away from the public eye, and put into a nice desk job where she can't do any more harm? :p

I do wonder, His promotion obviously takes his entire service record into account, Not just the shooting, he must have been doing well to be part of the inital task force anyway.

She's a woman, you know, this miss Cressida Dick who was in command of the firearms team which shot the Brazilian guy dead.

Of course her career could've been really good, but she is still going to be jugded for the shooting, they didnt even wait till that was over.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Anyone think that because  British cops don't carry guns normally, they are too trigger happy when they do have shootys?
(or do they have guns as a norm now... :nervous:)
