In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Yep. If true, it’s just gross negligence, especially in a town so small.
So when he was legally unable to get a gun, he couldn't get one. Then as soon as he turned 18 and was legally able to get a gun, he did.
Sure sounds like not being able to legally buy a gun would have helped here.
Cowards basically.
Seriously?
By 'study' I assume you mean 'learning'. Sorry to disappoint you and burst any notion of a bubble you're still holding for your country.
Already forgotten, sadly.
International police institutions will study this abortion.
It’s not forgotten. This will be used to further militarize the police in this country, unfortunately.
Studied for what? The police are rarely held accountable for their feck ups in the USA
This is a big enough abortion that international police departments will study it to emphasize how not to do something.
Again, international police departments would be better advised watching the Keystone Kops to study better policing. Best to not even look at the rest of America.
I'm still somewhat baffled by how all this played out. Is it negligence? Amateurism? Carelessness?
Unfortunately he's right. My level of trust in law enforcement is at an all time low.
Hillsborough in the UK immediately comes to mind.
I remain thankful that (despite the huge amount of issues the UK has), our Supreme Court can be overruled by Parliament.
Just pure cowardice. A Twitter thread shared yesterday clearly shows the vital parts in the training manual that say what must always be prioritized - the innocent's life before the cop's life.
why are you so baffled? this is who cops are and have always been. it’s just that the national media is shining a spotlight on them this time.
This also will be referenced & taught in the future by PR firms / crisis management firms for how not to do something.
As I said, this will be a watershed moment in policing & PR.
This sounds like it could have been a line in ‘We Own This City.’
They are just cowardly bullies with guns, who love posing with their equipment to cosplay war.
Just so I'm clear, were the police standing around outside specifically ordered not to go in by someone in charge?
You are way more optimistic than me. I'm not even American, shouldn't you be the jaded one?
Yeah that guy was a part of the same group there and made a call that it wasn't an active shooter situation anymore so there was no need to go in. The senior police guy in the press called that a wrong decision.
It’s too big of a complete failure that it won’t not be a reference going forward. Similar in a way to Columbine, but more applicable to more types of business.
It’s the quintessential ‘what not to do’ teaching moment.
Could be similar to Waco. But I guess the US police is going to draw the worst possible conclusions from this. They somehow always do.
Some of them already are with their Rambo like statements that are almost inviting school shooters.
Waco is a good shout.
Hmm. Wonder to what degree the expectation is that the other officers should challenge him in that situation? Or should blame fall pretty much solely on him for giving that order and not the other officers who did as ordered?
The BORTAC agents were also told to stand down. They waited 30 minutes, then said feck it & went In on their own accord, defying the order. They killed the shooter.
I wonder if they will receive any reprimands for disobeying the order.
Yikes. What an absolute shit-show.
I have a crush on Lauren Windsor…
For feck's sake.
If anything, the BORTAC agents have done their job in accordance to the highest police traditions and to the entire manual. Whoever was holding them off should be the one(s) reprimanded.
Due to the location of the shooting, the lead commander was the school district police chief, the same one who made the determination that the saga had transitioned into a barricaded hostage event & had transitioned out of an active shooter event even before the BORTAC officers arrived. The school district police chief oversees a whopping six SROs, was woefully out of his depth, & cocked up everything.
Limmy.
There'll be another one in a few days.
Like Twitch or Discord or some other stupid horseshit.
