cop killing man arrested

[coyn]

Just seen on teletext a man has been arrested in London in connection with the cop killing in Bradford.

Bit early to tell yet though

Bit early to tell what?! If he's guilty?! I should bloomin well hope so too!!!

Very sad! Apparently it was the policewomens little girls 4th birthday yesterday

[coyn]

They have just arrested three men in London assuming they have the right people the cops were sharp off the mark catching them.

Well, let's not make any assumtions yet - they are innocent until proven guilty!

Whoever is guilty of this crime deserves to be put in prison for a long time, not least because they appear to be a danger to the people of this country.

However, what the family of the murdered police woman (or, if you prefer, "killed cop") do NOT deserve is an unsafe conviction, or the conviction of an innocent man, only to have to go through the whole traumatic experience of another trial in the future.

Let's at least respect the law of this country and assume innocence until proven guilty. If and when guilt is proven, then by all means start to say what you like about the criminal(s), but until then, I hope, for once, ABers will remain a little more level headed.

Here endeth the sermon. :-p

If guilty may they rot in eternal hell and contract face cancer during their life.

Thanks. And the question is?

[Chessman]

According to the latest news, its now five, but all we can do is wait and hope that they have the guilty ones.

If you had read what I wrote JB I said ASSUMING THEY HAVE THE RIGHT PEOPLE

[january_bug]

coyn - I shall shout back as you shouted at me

YES I KNOW - BUT I AM HOPING THAT PEOPLE WILL NOT JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS

Yes - that was typed extra slowly to sound extra patronising - as you did to me.

As the police were not releasing any details of the wanted gang yesterday, don't you think they knew who they were looking for? Also they were apparently found in London, so they must have had some sort of idea.

[bernardo]

What is your question?
Why have you told us a news item on a Q&A website?
Why didn't you tell us the other news as well?
A British prisoner has been released in Morocco. The editor of the Daily Telegraph has resigned. The Prince of Wales is going to sue the Mail on Sunday. George Best is back in hospital. David Cameron is favourite to become leader of the Conservative Party.

Andy and Bernardo - WHY did you bother to post that!?!

People were managing to pick a discussion out of it anyway, so WHY are you two so petty!?! Goodness - I get accused of sitting on a high horse, but I'm not the only one am I!?!

[bernardo]

I was asking what the question was, because I didn't know what the question was and I wanted to know what the question was. I still don't know what the question was. I suspect there might not be one. This is supposed to be a question-and-answer site, not a site for people to tell each other things which are already in the news anyway.
