A small group of armed police force tended form a clique & support each other. There are incidences whereby a police officer shot a suspect dead a suspect carrying a table leg without warning because they thought he was carrying a shotgun, shot dead Menezes in a crowed tube as they thought he was a suicide bomber, an OAP, a barrister, a driver whilst attempting to stop him on a routine check. What about the police shooting dead a suspect in Ipswich about over 2 years ago? Where are the outcomes of the investigations by Police Complaints Authority? Suspects should not be shot dead without warning. Challenging armed suspects to surrender should be done in a more secluded place & when armed surveillance police officers are in a strategic safe spot away from crowded places.","committee_note":null,"state":"closed","signature_count":3,"created_at":"2011-10-31T07:17:00.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:27:28.673Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2011-10-31T08:51:53.000Z","closed_at":"2012-10-31T08:51:53.000Z","moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2011-10-31T07:17:00.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[],"signatures_by_constituency":[],"signatures_by_region":[],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
