Two police officers lured to their deaths yesterday in Greater Manchester. RIP :(

Tragic. RIP.

Devastating for their families. Thoughts and prayers must be for them. RIP

Very sad, but I'm with the people calling for calm rather than a knee-jerk reaction of arming police.

RIP. :(

Having a gun won't save someone walking into an ambush.

I'm sorry, for those of us outside the UK, what happened? :?

Hmm.

The thing that puzzles me, if this guy went to the trouble of setting a trap for these two, why did he then head on to the nearest police station? Something about this stinks. :think:

Brave ladies - RIP

I agree that there should be no moves to arm Police any more than they are already - our gun laws mean that few people carry them with intent like this but in urban areas where there is a lamentable degree of lawlessness I think officers should automatically be wearing more protective gear on those beats (if only because of the prevalence of edged weapons) and should be issued with better communication equipment as a matter of course so back up can be called in more effectively. :evil:
