The home secretary backed police and ordered a review of armed units after officers protested over a murder charge

The home secretary backed police and ordered a review of armed units after officers protested over a murder charge

Background on this for non-UK people -

  • Black guy shot by armed policeman whilst sitting in his own car.

  • Policeman arrested for murder, released on bail.

  • Last weekend armed police ‘strike’ by dropping their weapons because one of their own has been charged with murder

As per usual the victim is being forgotten in all of this while it turns into a massively corrupt political game.

    If you want to make a Matrix, by golly make a Matrix and make it marvelous. I won’t be involved but I’ll root for you. :)

    Me, I’m an old fart and a Luddite, on the internet only because I saw the usefulness of it. Haven’t seen usefulness in anything since, though — no smart phone, no smart watch, no smart house, no Roomba™, and I still read books on paper. No Matrix for me, thanks.
