    Another fine mess.

    Fortunately he wasn't holding a fully loaded table leg.

    Would the plod care to explain why the woman got concussion & why they were left to walk home in their underwear when no offence had been committed?

    "As is standard procedure with firearms reports, the incident was fully risk assessed and armed police were sent to the property in order to minimise any threat or harm to both the public and the officers attending the scene."

    I am going to call up and report that David Cameron is holding a firearm at 10 Downing Street. Lets see them take the same course of action.

      Unbelievable bit that. I can understand they might make a mistake about the gun, but you would have thought they would have apologised and run them home. Arrogant idiots, expect a light touch on the wrist.

          Maybe they'd done something in the past to upset plod, like Old Hack did? Of course, it wasn't the police who mistook a remote for a firearm - it was the paramedic who called them.

          Edit: oh look. From four years ago

          Michelle Malone says her partner signed for some property in Belgium a number of years ago - a move she now thinks was an error.
          40-year-old Keith Abrahams was arrested in Spain, and is awaiting trial for his alleged part in a £5 million heroin smuggling ring.
          Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

            not sure I want our Police to act as Judge & Jury, even if he is a bad un. Maybe they could find some evidence and prosecute him?

              It goes some way to explaining what happened - of course it doesn't excuse it. I presume once his case got to court he was found innocent, otherwise he wouldn't be out and about playing with his remote.

                Must have done wonders for her panic attacks too. Or maybe she'll be completely cured, like shock treatment for hiccups!

                  Its all right because we can trust our Armed Police to always behave professionally.
