Some points to note:

The British like to make out that Policing is by consent, and so politicians like Theresa May and others make a big play on not having armed police officers patrolling in public. Yet any trip to the airport and other transport hubs like train stations will see them on display, patrolling. In London you will see them driving around, they are never far from an incident.

They use hollowpoints which dont egress the body, but rather cause more internal damage which is designed to stop and kill. When these people are around they are going to kill people and there is no judge or jury on the "intelligence" that warranted their appearance on the streets as Jean Charles da Silva e de Menezes found out.

I've been subjected to a variety of criminal actions at the hands of the police, and there is no recourse in this country for that criminality, you will just get hounded and attacked by members of the public and others sympathetic to the Police.

So this action, is going to cause the friends and family of Chris Kaba more aggrevation. It also looks like the Police officer wont be convicted of murder, but this is a stealth reverse psychology exercise designed to make changes to armed Policing in the UK and quite like get them a pay rise because the Police are not allowed to take industrial action and strike, but this is a strike.

Some of the police are ex-military, and there is culture of secrecy for these public servants, after all some of the military have to go somewhere, once they have had enough of being barked at.

Personally I think all public servants should be publicly known and how much money they get, military, police, doctors and nurses, teachers, if you are taking tax payers money then you should be known, people on benefits, charities, quango's, everyone, zero privacy for taking money out of the "public" purse.

So lets see how the public handle this anguish and anxiety of not having armed police on the streets of London, are we going to have a repeat of the Mark Duggan London riots or something else?

Just how far will people go to get some more money?
