2 PCs murdered in ManchesterSadly two police officers were murdered in Tameside whilst responding to a call of shots fired. They paid the ultimate price whilst serving the public, puts Uni in perspective for me at least.

Re: 2 PCs murdered in ManchesterOne died at the scene and another was taken to hospital with injuries. She later died too though.(Original post by Hal.E.Lujah)
I thought it was one murdered one injured
Was nearby when this happened. Horrible, gun crime up here seems worse than down south.

Re: 2 PCs murdered in ManchesterSame with drugs and other illegal items but the streets are awash with them. If there is demand, there is profit to be made unfortunaly.(Original post by TimHuak)
but the UK has strict gun control laws. How is it that criminals manage to get their hands on guns?

Re: 2 PCs murdered in ManchesterThis news is truly distressing. I also question why these criminals have guns? We criticise American for their gun laws, but do we have a problem as well? How many people actually are in possession of a firearm in the United Kingdom? All questions that need to be asked.

Re: 2 PCs murdered in ManchesterWe do not have a gun problem on the same scale as America, where they quite literally have shootings everyday.(Original post by eff01)

Re: 2 PCs murdered in ManchesterThe cynic in me would suggest it's an attempt to regain some public sympathy for the police after all the Hillsborough stuff.(Original post by cowsforsale)
Surprised they sent 2 unarmed police officers to a guys house who has previously been incarcerated for killing someone with a grenade. -

Surprised they sent 2 unarmed police officers to a guys house who has previously been incarcerated for killing someone with a grenade.I do not think there is anything to suggest that the officers were sent to the house in the knowledge that Cregan was present. Further, cowsforsale, Cregan was wanted but had not been imprisoned.(Original post by Slick Fosbury)
The cynic in me would suggest it's an attempt to regain some public sympathy for the police after all the Hillsborough stuff.
Latest news suggests that the officers were sent to investigate a burglary - we have already been told that the house had been empty for some time.
I think that it is quite a nasty allegation to suggest that this incident was orchestrated in order to take some of the heat of the police service after the Hillsborough revelations. -

Re: 2 PCs murdered in ManchesterYeah because I'm obviously going to have loads of evidence for this aren't i?(Original post by Norton1)

Like I said, it's just a cynical thought. Not saying it happened, but there's a possibility. More people should consider it. -
