Cop Shoot Cop

Britain’s police have criticised Britain’s police for being trigger-happy following the death of PC Ian Terry, killed in a Manchester training exercise by a fellow officer armed with a shotgun.

“It’s frightening to realise that more police officers are tooled up now than ever before,” said a chief constable, who did not wish to be named for fear of retribution. “Gun culture has become commonplace in police circles, and people are right to be concerned about these firearm-toting psychopaths strutting about, secure in the knowledge that the law is powerless against them. Not a single copper has ever been convicted for gunning down an innocent member of the public.”

“These anti-social thugs think they are above the law,” said the ghost of Jean Charles de Menezes, speaking through a medium, “And indeed they are. Now one of them has killed a police officer in the course of carrying out his duties. That used to be a hanging offence, but this villain will probably get away with a slap on the wrist for breaching health and safety regulations. Where will it end? The government has tried amnesties, but not one policeman has handed in a weapon. It’s time to get tough. Remember, guns don’t kill people - police firearms specialists do.”
