   good it saves us paying a bloody fortune keeping him in high security for 30 years

   30 years ? Why 30 years ? ..........that isn't the normal sentence for murder.

   And he could possibly have claimed manslaughter/provocation/diminished responsibility. Certainly his gf telling him that she had shacked up with a copper a couple of days before his release, even if it wasn't true, wasn't very wise. Presumably he would have got done for attempted murder of the copper though, if he wasn't able to prove that he hadn't actually intended killing him.

   Well it mightn't be for like, murder of one person & a first offence, but he had attempted murder on him as well as leading half the country's cops a merry dance while armed. (As well as 'not his 1st offence')
   I think he'd have been lifed off. 30 or more years in HMP Frankland @ 35K a year at least.
   It's all to do with 'protection of the public' (LOL)

   A quick news summary would be:

   Bloke shoots himself
   News wants to know why they didnt tazer him - then follows much talk about why tazering is bad
   Turns out he was tazered
   News want to know why they did tazer him - then follows much talk about why tazering is bad

   Desription of what happened that has just been on the news sounds like a colossal **** up.

   No, there was a few more details on the news and your speculating on what the media wanted you to hear.

   No - Sneak up behind the guy and tazer him, he then shoots himself and they taser him again. Sounds like basil fawlty was in charge.

   Is that what happened is it or is that what they think may have happened?

   If they did Tazer him after he shot himself that it may be so they could approaching safely in case he wasn't dead?
