The Insanity of Political Correctness
« on: May 23, 2013, 04:43:05 PM »
Well, I called this one right. Yesterday I only half sarcastically commented in a Facebook group I am the administrator of that the twenty minute response time for police to respond to this terrorist incident (almost in central London) was likely due to officers having to first contact their watch commander and be issued actual firearms before responding to the scene. Well, it's almost worse than that for the long delay before a response by armed police is because only a small number of police in London are actually issued firearms and the long response time within the near central part of London was due to the time delay in rounding up cops who actually had firearms and were trained to use them. I pray this insane policy of not arming the street Bobbies in London comes to an end and supervision recognizes that this unarmed policy is pure insanity. I also was appalled that the armed cops that did respond felt it appropriate to shoot the two suspects in the legs when the suspects charged them with sharp edged weapons. To not aim at center mass in such a situation is taking political correctness to the insane extreme. Such tactics are begging for casualties by the good guys. Those cops were truly lucky they were not victims of fatal injuries by aiming for the legs of those cockroaches.

I'm thinking that may be contributed to lack of actual target practice than training. If they don't have many guns, they probably don't get much ammo, which means not much practice.

The British have long prided themselves on the fact that most of their beat cops are unarmed. They have always figured that to be a testament to how civil their society is, that even the criminal element don't rate an armed response. Well those days of Merry Olde England with rosy cheeked maidens are, sadly, long gone. They better get with the program....or programme.

Does anyone remember the final part of An American Werewolf in London? The werewolf is running amok in Piccadilly Circus and the police respond with a special van carrying the armed officers. The monster roams at will in the meantime. This is pretty much what happened in London yesterday: a foreign monster running amok while the local police try to put together an effective response.

Exactly Gock22, they had to round up a cadre of officers who actually had firearms... pathetic.  And Alan, I am thinking just the opposite from your suspicions.  I suspect the officers who are issued firearms are highly trained and have ample firearms training.  The Brits are fully capable of mustering crack SWAT teams.  I am of the belief that those weasels who were shot in the legs was by deliberate intent due to the atmosphere of political correctness that is even worse in the United Kingdom than it is here in the USA.  My guess is that the grunts in the field were pressured to take those savages alive by their deluded supervision and thus they were deliberately shot in the legs.  That's my suspicion and I'm sticking with it.

Yeah, shooting center-mass does not comport with, "relentlessly pursue and find the alleged perpetrators and bring them to justice."

It is evolution in action. The sun has been setting on the UK for several decades now.

They don't even have an aircraft carrier anymore.

I hope they at least shot them in the knees. If I couldn't shoot to kill I would most definitely shoot to maim. But I suppose that's asking too much, too.

Here they are shooting them:

Pitiful. Absolutely pitiful.

How many armed cops responded? The perp runs up to their cop/clown car and it takes all six firing twenty rounds and all they do is put the Muzzie in the hospital? NO VIRGINS FOR YOU!

Pitiful.

Dispatching trash tends to send the right message to other would be asshats...

The Brits should be filling morgues not hospitals.  Poor stupid bastards.  They are truly hosed.  The pc/diversity/multi-culti cultists will only destroy you from within...we are fighting them here...the Brits are merely further down the drain than we are...

Sounds like a tragic traffic accident to me, wherein the poor man "died of his injuries."

I am still of the firm belief that those armed officers were ordered only to wound.  That dirty little secret will be hard to pry from those who know.  As a retired cop, my instincts and intuition on these types of matters have a very good reliability record.  If I am right, then the management of law enforcement in the UK is tragically incompetent.

I agree 100%. It would be naive to think that armed police officers don't know how to aim for center-mass, and equally naive to think they would all miss center mass and hit the legs. They were doing what they were supposed to do, according to the warped liberal doctrine under which they operate.

Don't dare kill killers, cuz, civilized.

It wouldn't surprise me if police there can only use FMJ, like the military.

Wonder if one was shot center mass if the cop would keep his job.
