Manchester Synagogue Incident

Absolutely not, he was suspected to be wearing a bomb vest, no low shot to the legs, shot to the head, shoot to kill.

The police do not have a shoot to kill policy, their firearms policies are based on what is called “shoot to stop” and comply’s with the requirement for the minimal amount of reasonable force to be used.

The police are trained to shoot for the chest cavity because it’s a bigger target area and there’s less chance of missing.

Horrible result for an innocent man to die doing everything he could to protect himself and others, but the officer who took the shot will also have to live with that for the rest of his life.

As others have said, our firearms officers receive extensive training, this isn't the States where you get handed a gun after 5 minutes training and 1 viewing of Commando. If he had shot the guy in the leg and he did have a bomb, many more than the one person may have died.

Either way, job done.

From what I read, the innocent guy accidentally shot by police was holding the door closed against the attacker and took a bullet through the door. If this is correct, I'm amazed the police fired at the attacker with the risk of hitting worshippers on the other side of the door. At least aim low for his legs to minimise the chance of collateral damage. Don't they get training on this kind of thing?

As far as I know they’re trained to aim for the biggest area which is chest and torso, no risk of getting up after clipping them there.

Money shot for an absolute lunatic.

When my day comes, I'll take my chances for being atheist.

Hopefully those affected will find solace in whatever beliefs they follow.
Peace out. 🕊

So an Islamic terrorist with a will to kill Christians and Jews as per the Quran and according to Neville this blame sits with Ron from Chelmsford with his flag.

That's not what Neville said, but why let the facts get in the way of bullshit Reform propaganda?
GB 'News'? 'News'???
Don't make me feckin laugh.

The video has nothing to do with GB News Michael. It’s Neville’s video that GB News and many many other outlets reposted.

Just for a bit of balance.

Gary Neville says he took down union flag being ‘used in a negative fashion’

Footballer turned developer questions spate of flag raisings and says ‘we’re all being turned on each other’

Hard to disagree with anything he's said in that article. I think he's summed up the situation very well.

I think the timing of it is fucking ridiculous considering he’s in Manchester and only a few days ago the Synagogue attack took place in ……… Manchester.
