      Given he claimed to have head multiple officers telling others to shoot him.

      With absolutely no legal motivation to do so.

      Something needs investigating. Either his statements to the press. Or the utterly disgusting lack of professionalism shown by officers involved in the incident.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
