All it takes is one mistake for a copper to land up behind a door for the next 20 years of his life. One mistake.

because they entered the millenium dome without weapons, they got a much lesser charge of burglary , entering a building with intent to steal without violence or intent to harm and it was a of a non residential building. which is actually a lesser sentence than burglary of a residential property

Honestly, you don't need to explain your actions to the public. Be proud of your work, as you said " they put themselves in that position' so they deserved everything that you served them .

Big change from the days when a Bobbie carries a baton in the 60s.

@TabulaRasa-o8o 3 weeks ago

Nahhhh you're wrong , they didn't use fire arms due to significantly higher aggravating sentences if caught NOT because they didn't anticipate the police arriving

@angushogg3667 3 weeks ago

I am at a loss to know anyone can complain at the shooting and subsequent death of gun-carrying criminals. The moment you elect to carry a gun whilst carrying out a criminal act, you are fair game. Death should be anticipated - it is a public service killing that benefits all of civilised society. Shooting to kill is fine by me in these circumstances.

Why do voice over people feel the need to add the infuriating inflection to their voice? Just speak normally.
Jeremy Clarkson can pull it off... you can not.

Sadly, as has been the typical format for years now, this repeatedly repeats a lot of what has already been said, etc. Terribly tedious.

100% Shoot to kill not shoot to stop. Also did one of them compare the SAS with Armed police cause that is a stupid comparison.

Of course it didn't negatively impact you , you believe and convince yourself you were doing your job and done a good job killing someone for a few quid , which is cool , just don't pretend otherwise.
