How to deal with police that carry guns

This'll be why the chief commissioner is being called to resign by MSPs. Cause cops never lie. Actually cop lie is an anagram of police lol

Why cant you guys converse like adults and tone it down a bit? I'm assuming you're guys because women are usually more mature. Actually I didn't pay a penny for the course as it was funded by the university

They always have a reason, like he was threatening me with his back or I didn't know he had a heart condition when I punched him in the back. Or he looked like the other guy so I broke his neck. Or when he said he couldn't breath he was lying thats why he died. Or we were ok to hide the murder weapon we killed him with cause we were under pressure. Or I was right to execute those two civilians for having a noisy car. Etc etc etc etc etc.....

Your taking that wayyyyy out of context.

The police, and anyone else for that matter, have the right to use reasonable force, when feeling threatened. For example, if you throw your sandwhich at an armed cop in a sandwhich shop, he'll probably nick you. if you were to pull a knife on said cop, or any member of the public, he would probably shoot you, deeming that you posed an immediate threat to innocent by standers. I just dont comprehend how this is a bad thing?!

I would only agree with you if our cops acted in the way that american cops did, but they dont.

Riddle me this Mr Aaron "dylann roof shoot to wound school of bollo*ks nobody believes" Lowe; why are MSPs calling for him to resign and what knowledge do they have of armed response units?

ahhh another rediculous thread on tsr. Armed police in the uk are actually pretty damn good compared to the rest of the world. By that I mean they very rarely make mistakes, they are extremely well trained, and unlike yank coppers, don't shoot the first thing that looks at them funny.

Reference the "shoot to wound" argument, if you really had done "gun training" (lol) you would know that the shorter the barrel, the less accurate the weapon. Trying to even hit a target with a pistol over 25m away is pretty hard, let alone aiming for a leg. And even then, hit the femoral artery and it's all over.

Turn on your TV. I am not your evidence bitch lol. What planet have you been living on? Its there right in front of your face if you would but just open your eyes

On just my second lesson I managed to get 4 bullets through the same bullet hole 1cm NW of bullseye from 25 yards without visual aid. Maybe I'm above average but they would choose people who are above average for their job. The reason why I couldn't hit bullseye was because of a natural imbalance with my eyes. With further training that could have been compensated for but like I said Snowball put at end to that and possibly caused the change in the law mentioned.

I read the news and use the internet; I've formed my own opinions. If you think I'm wrong, the onus is on you to correct me and everyone else on this thread, using actual credible information otherwise your argument is nothing but speculation and fallacy; something so far removed from the real world that you have to lay claim to wild and vague anecdotes and then cry when people ask you for evidence. But good going, scientists will have probably found a remedy that mental disability of yours by the turn of the century.

When you present a position and say "this is the case", the onus is on you to prove it, not to us to prove you wrong.

With a handgun?

Balls.

I was in the armed forces, when we used handguns on a range it was at a maximum of 10m.

Any handgun you used would have been a 9mm calibre. You're suggesting to got 4 'bullets' in a 10mm grouping? And on your second lesson no less?

You're talking absolute nonsense and not a single soul is going to believe you.

Never said I used handguns. That's your assumption.

No. You said you had "gun training" at a club that was shut after the post-Dunblane furore.

The only clubs and types of shooting that were closed down were those using pistols. Riflery has kept on going. I know, because I used a perfectly legal civilian rifle club between 1998 and 2005.

Therefore the direct implication of what you said was that you used handguns, not rifles.

However, I'm not surprised you can't keep yourself understood with the amount of lies you're trying to keep up at once.

The caption from this newspaper reads:

Barely a week goes by without new details on how House and Police Scotland have been trying to silence critics or cover up official findings emerging, their attitude continually marked by its complacency and arrogance. However, this summer matters did seem to be coming to a head, with mounting public outrage over armed officers on normal patrols. This didn’t stop House responding in June by saying that he didn’t want his “experienced officers” with guns, tucked away from the public as an “elite unit”. Criticisms were “almost mischievous”, with this not “the big issue people say it is”. Shamefully, he also cited the example of the Dunblane school massacre as a reason for police needing to carry guns in rural communities.

Don't shoot the messenger lol

You do realise that that quote backs us up, right? That shows that armed police in Scotland are rare, and that they are being put on streets to prove that they're there, rather than a sign that all police ate routinely armed.

Quite appropriately for this thread, you're shooting yourself in the foot.
