ok on that basis lets say 5 police have been shot and died in the Uk - Uk pop is 55 million btw - plse answer the question - how many police have died by gunshot whilst on duty in the US during the same period of time?

There have been 3 - 4 police officers murdered in the UK in the last 9 years, 1 shot (by an American)

According to the FBI, in the last 9 years in the US, excluding the attacks on Sept 11th 2001, 636 police officers have been murdered on duty.

The US has approx 6 times the population, about 180 times as many police officers murdered.

This is cool, if I go down in the line of duty I want my death debated as a political debate on a WW2 flight forum.

This was sarcasm if you cannot figgure it out.
Why does EVERYTHING become a left/right wing.... discussion?

It's called the O Club for a reason. Discussions flow from parent thread to tangent and so on, and so on, and so on.

Get over yourself.

It usually starts by one of the NeoCons ranting some insult thinking they are being clever. Then when they are called on it the NeoCon Hijack is a chain reaction success.

Yeah, that or...

It usually starts by one of the NeoLibs ranting some insult thinking they are being clever. Then when they are called on it the Liberal Circle Jerk is a chain reaction success.

That'd be irony for ya.

2nd post in the thread and it's a NeoCon rant. Nevermind the tragedy, let's turn it into politics.

Get over myself? What does that mean. I made a valid point that everything becomes a left/right discussion. And you insult me. But its easy to insult from behind a keyboard. Thats prolly the reason.

Actually, it wasn't an insult. And you had no point. Your being a cop, or a deputy marshall in the Bay Area, or a paintball enthusiast, for that matter, has no bearing on what and how people carry on discussions on this board.

It's pretty easy to pick a fight from behind a keyboard, isn't it.

Can't believe you guys are still taking that stinky bait. Look up what his handle means - it describes his personality perfectly. He may be a ****wit but you can't accuse him of false advertising. If you can't resist it then just use the ignore feature.

Anyways last i checked people in UK like to kill eachother with bombs not guns

lazs2 · « **Reply #41 on:** June 21, 2004, 08:35:32 AM »

depends on what you want.. guns prevent millions of crimes here a year including murder. We pay a professional group (police) to take risks. They seem willing to take those risks and have very little touble in recruiting. Most U.S. policemen (not the political chiefs) believe that citizens should be armed.

england is a cess pool of pickpockets and burglars and smash and grab artists. We lose more cops per year to slipping in the bathtub than to being shot.

You guys ever catch the fact that the guy in the van had an SKS assault rifle , pipe bomb and other bomb making supllies?

AKCasca · « **Reply #43 on:** June 21, 2004, 10:23:08 AM »

Hell Waffle I have an SKS and if you gathered the cleansers from under my kitchen sink I bet they could be considered "bomb making supplies"

He also was an N stage cancer patient.

Damn tragedy for all involved.

Waffle · « **Reply #44 on:** June 21, 2004, 10:31:41 AM »

So, Do you have a completed pipe bomb?
