Its fear.fear of being to blame if something goes wrong.

Expect lots of copy cat events in the future.

Obviously the states think the police are "up there" if they beleive they can just barge in who cares if they're wrong...they'll be ok...

I wouldn't think so .

Nothing good atleast . They left a fallen cop there for over a day, in the street . This will be viewed very badly by most .

And the fact they said that they didn't even know if he was dead or alive 8 hours after the shooting took place .

Is that humane?
Is it humane to not storm a place/do whatever it take to get a guy who is possibly alive out from the street and into medial care?

The fact they had to get call in the army (for support), hell the SAS, does not help raise any confidence either .

^ Career suicide . Exactly . Everyone from the PM's office down . No matter what call they make, most will view it wrong .
Too much PC if you ask me . If cops did shoot/kill the guy, I am sure there will be an uproar from the do-gooders about human rights, etc etc . If they don't they'll be seen as weak and cowardly . I'd hate to be them right now .

771720 2009-05-09 01:43:00 Over 48 hours... wow.

They should have sent Constable Abbott in first, he'd have shot the guy and have had the reports done before the first night was done
