And I understand that, but even if he was in the footwell, why point the gun at the old dear? If he springs up, the old dear buys it?

Robbing a chippy lacks a bit in criminal credibility, whats wrong with a bookies or a post office. Maybe it a northern thing

They do get some training, you know (and yes, I'm aware of various police related f*** ups, but you don't hear about all the ones they do resolve safely every day).

Ta. That was precisely my point. Plus the officer already had the boot open. There's not too many places a bloke that size could hide in a car. No need for the officer to still have his gun pointed.

Wouldn't early have the same effect if the police were like this though.

Apparently the two-mile exclusion zone around Rothbury has been lifted.
They put a 2 mile exclusion zone around Isfield once.
Nobody noticed for a fortnight.
Just like

If they do not catch within three days, the Police are incompetent.

This is a waste of time. The bloke is a nutter and is IRRATIONAL. There is absolutely no point in appealing to his non-existent rational cognition.
What the Soviets and Chinese do is out a bullet through his head.
Now I can see why you never got the job of drafting those official police statements... :
Maybe I spoke too soon!
Just seen the press conference on the news where Northumbria Police refer to Moat as a "Nutter" ....
Resignations to follow, I should imagine...

Classic, although I overheard a conversation earlier on between a bunch of girlies who reckon that the two female officers concerned should be sacked because of their makeup and hairdo gaffes!
A couple of Special Branch guys I was with earlier on this week (yep, name dropping, but who gives a f***!) reckoned that they would increase the pressure on him and get him to come out of hiding. As the area was already heavily loaded with armed police, they may well take the chance of getting him as he breaks cover.
Maybe they are trying to draw the guy out? A little bit of insulting goes a long way...implying he is going to go after the public might also entice him into breaking cover. Personally, I reckon he is nowhere near the area now. I think that his accomplices have been leaving things around to make it look like he in the area and he is long gone.
Either that or he is going to come storming out of the woods taking potshots at all and sundry and go out in a hail of lead.
I think they should napalm the woods, but I am generally not renowned for having a "softly softly" approach to these sort of things.

After an Albion game in Oxford many many many years ago I asked a police officer next to me in the queue at a chip shop if he'd come about the, snigger snigger, fight, and that apparently two fish had got battered. Credit to the copper, as he stood back, looked at me and paused in a style that could only say 'c**t.'

I guess your fishy witticisms were a minor HADDOCK to our restrained chum in blue, to be fair. I trust you didn't hang about (i.e. you got your SKATEs on)??
