Police officer shot dead
A police sergeant has been shot dead in a custody suit.
Thoughts go out to family and friends and workmates of the officer. macafee2 |

Ironic that this poor chaps job was to ensure that anyone presented to him was given their rights and ensured that they would be treated fairly. Someone before that stage clearly did not do their job.
Clearly he was an inspirational man both at work and away from it. May he rest in peace and his family and friends take pride in his service to so many. Last edited by planenut; 26th September 2020 at 08:29.. |

Absolutely tragic. He was clearly a brilliant bloke based on what I saw on the news this morning.
Lots of questions as to how a gun was allowed into the custody area. |

Also, apparently, the gun was between his legs in his underclothing.

I'm very surprised that there isn't an airport type metal detector system that suspects have to pass through when brought into custody.Might have prevented this tragedy.He was only a few months off retirement too.Very sad indeed.

I must have misheard the news on TV. They said, while handcuffed, he 'was shot five times'. How do you shoot yourself five times, let alone handcuffed?

But ultimately, I cant help suspect that it will probably come down to some form of human rights violation Automatic pistol, or involuntary twitching on the trigger finger due to brain injury Or he kept missing somewhere fatal, just a guess - I havent read/heard the story, could he have shot the police man five times?
