What is the country coming too A friend of mine a colleague my old Sgt was murdered last night shot in London. He was a avid classic motor bike fan hence why I am putting it on here and it’s so sad that in the climate social restrictions he will not be able to have a full unformed funeral which he deserves

A terrible, tragic event. It illustrates how rapidly what should be (regretfully) a fairly routine Police situation can turn bad very quickly. I worked very closely alongside members of two Midlands police forces a few years ago and despite the unfair bad press our police in general often receive, I've always admired those who make it their career.
