Hunt for American suspected of killing British cop heating up big time
been the big story over here for the past couple days. They have now sealed off York Train station and suggesting he is on a train going out or into it..this is as close to the Fugitive as it gets in the UK.
SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
Most police cars now have guns, but unless you are in a problem place, police would not bother.
The part of Leeds it hapened in is quiet, not where real crime happens.
I can only think the guy has mental problems or was on drugs, as all he got stoped for was a stolen car, and as it was his firtst offence, he would have not gone to prison.
So i suspect he was not in a mental state of mind.

I'm also curious as to what his immigration status is because I am sort of here for the same reasons as he is - being married to a Brit. The years he has been here keeps changing when I hear it but if they got divorced really early into his marriage he may have problems with staying her legally..especially if they didn't do the paperwork.
Then maybe he is here because he has some sort of family connection such as a British parent but there is a reason he didn't want to be stopped by the police.
In this case the cop was just doing his job and paid a heavy price. The other 2 were pretty damn lucky, especially the cop who took a bullet in his radio set, the gunman was looking kill all 3. It seems a bit weird though that they didn't pat him down before putting him in the patrol car.
im not saying shit about this guy or whoever died, but seriously, innocent people die everysday but if a fucking pig takes one 'oh no the fucking world better mourn.'
whens the last time you folks gave a fuck when a volunteer fireman died? or anything like that.
someone dies in a war, you barely know their name, but a cop takes a bullet and its the biggest news ever.
why dont you all take the time to scroll through the names of the dead iraqis or the soldiers, an 18 year old kid from California died in iraq yesterday, and no one posted about it? heres a place to start:

people - any people - do not get shot and killed in the UK everyday. So, had it been just an average joe there would be a big deal about it too. Six months ago or so there was a big shooting of a kid and a father in the street in London and it was a way bigger deal than this in the media.

big deal.
people die in my country every day.
as i said, scroll through the names of the dead soldiers in iraq or any other innocents who die.
heres a good quote from the article i linked which you probably wont even read.
'"Yesterday, I flew my first dead soldier out of Iraq," Parker wrote Dec. 20 in an e-mail to his mother. "I don't know his exact age, but I'm sure he was just a kid."
It was one of his first missions.
The young private died three days earlier when an improvised roadside bomb exploded beneath the Humvee he was driving in a convoy in northern Iraq, he said.
"There was no ceremony when the Army delivered his body to our C-130," Parker wrote. "He was in a body bag, strapped to a (stretcher), which was on the back of an open Humvee."
well, I don't have any hostility towards the police - nor the soldiers who similarly signed up to do a dangerous job but it is still a story and as the story is based in the UK that is why the rarity of the events is relevant. Oh, and British soldiers die too.
