socks 32,253 Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Your not getting the point that THIS IS THEIR JOB ... again I'm not slagging them off I'm just saying that was a fukc up that shouldn't have happened ... that's the whole point of training training and more training for just this sort of eventuality ........

low plains drifter 10,744 Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 The finest counter terror forces in the world make f**k ups. What makes them the finest is their ability to succeed when the shit hits the fan. Plenty of comical SAS accounts of unexpected shit going wrong. When the most heavily funded operators in the world the US Navy's 'SEAL team 6' killed Bin Laden their elite Air Force pilots crashed one of the helicopters because they hadn't accounted for the air currents caused by the compound walls! Why that car didn't remain stopped is anyone's guess, maybe the handbrake malfunctioned. On the whole they got the job done.... I hear they'd been handbrake turning the tits off it around the jasmine allen estate whilst in pursuit of bliars drug dealing sister in law 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
low plains drifter 10,744 Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 Aye, I wasn't responding to you Socks, dear. I agree with everything you have said. If it was a genuine cock up that hadn't been ironed out in training, then I'm sure it will be now. He'll not forget that one! Maybe he was halfway through a bag of jam doughnuts when the call went out and had greasy fingers. confectionery me bollocks, vinegar strokes of a pokey bum wank more like 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 30,491 Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) This is the first line I wrote ...... Fair play they got the job done but it wasn't slick and smooth that's for certain .... as I've said countless times I am not slagging them off but the fact remains that the driver fukced up and COULD have caused more fatalities ... that 4x4 could have easily taken out two of his own team allowing the terrorists to get away and carry on their killing spree ... when your in those situations there is no margins for error hence the reason they carry out hundreds of hours of practice so that the drills become second nature ... let me put it this way gnash when you were boxing you must have spent hundreds of hours sparring to sharpen your skills and teach you ring craft and so that some movements became second nature that you would carry out without thinking .... this is exactly the same ... stop car leave in gear apply handbrake remove keys ... this all happens in a second and should have been second nature to the copper ... the driver is always the last out of the vehicle because of these drills ... I don't know whether adrenaline got the better of him or not but the fact remains in the cold light of day he fukced up and COULD have caused more fatalities ... luckily it did t and the scum were put down quick smart ... like I keep repeating I'm not slagging those lads off just putting out an opinion on something I know a bit about .......Socks i take you on your word with things like this as you know what your on about and i dont im sure theres standard procedure that people like me dont care for all that matters is the result....theres a couple of you lads on here who have experience in war/situations and so your opinions hold more weight with me than the bookworm toy soldiers but i repeat im just a civilian all i care about is the end result and to read the words " made a f**k up " after what i thought was a great ending is hard to take.....but i totally accept the finer details of what your saying. It would be like us both watching the Joshua/Klitchsko fight and while you jump about in excitement at the result im sitting there finding fault in the finer details of Joshuas performance.......unless i was talking to other fighters about it i just wouldnt think it necessary to point those faults out.....he won ! British plod just ironed out 3 Islamic nut cases in cold blood.....let us have our moment of glory for f**k sake ? Edited June 10, 2017 by gnasher16 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 Whilst we are talking about the finer points ... one of them coppers had a twisted sling on his weapon and another looked to have dirt boots .... that just won't do ....... 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukey 1,621 Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 You can train as much as you like but you can never add in the human factor of that situation, your right but socks if he'd had just secured the car then what a job down to a T, but still a very good job they done! Also the x5 handbrake is a small button that you pull up to park and push down to release so maybe in the panic he's just messed about with that and not secured properly, just a thought Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mackem 27,629 Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 Newport guy drove round with it for 6 months before the DVLA cottoned on and pulled it.... A registration plate has been pulled by the DVLA as it looked like it spelled the word jihad. A Ford Fiesta with the plate JH11 HAD was spotted driving in Newport and reported to authorities. The DVLA said it "slipped through the net" and it had withdrawn it, sending a replacement plate to the owner. Jihad literally means struggle or effort in Arabic, but in recent years the most common meaning has been holy war. The DVLA said the personalised plate was bought in October 2016 and was not picked up by the system designed to stop offensive registrations being released. A spokesman added: "We try to identify all combinations that may cause offence and on the rare occasion where potentially offensive numbers slip through the net, steps are taken to withdraw the number. "As soon as we became aware of this last week we withdrew it and would have then sent a replacement plate." Plates resembling jihad, specifically those starting with JE and ending HAD, are not available. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
