Manchester Police Own Goal

viral | 09.06.2008 19:37 | Anti-militarism | Health | Terror War

It appears Manchester Constabulary fired and scored an own goal today with the death of one of their officers during routine firearms training in a Manchester warehouse.

At this point they couldn't comment on whether the fatal bullet was discharged from another officer's gun or his own (which is slightly worrying).... As sad as it must be for his family, at least that's one less marksman on the streets with a licence to use deadly weapons against the people living in Manchester. Guns don't beat crime.

He shoots, he scores....
