Unanswered questions. posted by Richard Seymour
SW has a couple of questions for the Metropolitan Police. I actually have a few for them as well.Namely:
1) Why is a murder suspect being sent on holiday as opposed to being arrested and detained, pending bail? Is there any possibility he'll be holidaying in Gonzaga?
2) Will the Menezes family also be offered a holiday? Do they have to kill anyone, or is that just a perk of working for the Metropolitan Police?
3) Why does a totally innocent man get 8 bullets while a suspected bomber who does actually have a rucksack on his person merely get 50,000 volts in the ass ?
4) How can the Chief Police Commissioner announce with equanimity that so far, there have been 250 other 'incidents' and seven near killings - how many of these have actually involved anyone associated with terrorism?
5) Since when was it the physiologically case that to prevent movement of the hands it was necessary to "destroy the brain instantly, utterly"? Ever heard of hand-cuffs? How about disabling the arms? The cunning use of physical restraint?
I hope an officer can stop by and help me out with those.
