god damm it I logged on to say that.
I understand he is being sent in to negotiate with a 4 pack of wife beater and a savloy and chips
They tried that with the Isle of Wight, but some bugger still managed to escape. There was a case recently where a murder had arranged an escape bid using a helicopter. Timed it with the IOW festival as there is a fair bit of air traffic flying in and out. Only got stopped because a guard reading his mail spotted that they were using lemon juice to hide messages.
As soon as I saw this picture I knew he was going to get seriously ribbed for, probably, the rest of his career!
They are trained firearms officers you fruit-loop, telling the photographer to back off.
Yep, he's the negotiator... too many Walts for me on this site, see ya fellas...
Actually more likely on a Nintendo Wii, that would explain why he's waving it around in the general direction of the target
In that case, they are pointing in the wrong direction and looking in another. Fundamental movie mistake that.
Despite the ribbing it's fair to say that they do probably know what they're doing but the banter is funny!
If they are, they need to go back for some re-training. Guy at top right has finger on, eyes off and stock out of shoulder. That discipline should see him thrown off a static target range - its woeful practice.
Sorry, I've taught small arms technique to police and they exhibit first time user traits and flaunt all the rules completely. It's a media set up, has to be.
New favourite quote:
"its like something out of Waco Texas"
I guess that is true to some extent....except for the fact they are outside, are only facing one man, there are no women or kids involved, its in Britain, there is no religion involved, and no mass casualties have occurred and there has been no fire engulfing a building.
Apart from those small points, I suppose its just like Waco!

You forgot to mention that our police are better trained for these situations also....
Having no experience or knowledge in such matters this may be a mute point, but surely putting so many people into and area is only going to mask any sent trails. The guy was a tree surgeon, so knows how to climb a tree. Well if I could hear a large group of people crashing through a wood, I'd get up the tallest tree I could find and try and hide in the canopy. These guys are use to urban containment not stalking. Perhaps it would have been better to put a smaller, more skilled team on the ground to track him whilst using the bulk of your manpower to contain the perimeter. It's what they do with the dog units that I see on TV. Also how POW have escaped in jungle conditions narrowly avoiding capture due to inexperienced troops crashing around or been caught by a very small team of trackers. Remember, I have no experience in this and my very limited knowledge comes from third hand reading and documentaries so be kind.
very true lots of people lots of smell, but working track dogs are amazing, if he had hid up a tree, the dog would scent to it, try to find scent leaving it, when it didn't find any the dog would sit/indicate the end of the trail probably next to the tree he's in.
Not having any experience in dealing with suicidal murder's but is it not making the situation more dangerous by having several armed men within spitting of the armed suspect? Would Snipers not be safer? (I am pretty sure there are several on him already) and jsut let the negotiators do their job?
