No.
Are you suggesting that if anyone gets killed doing their job, that deserves nothing more than a shrug, if they knew that there were some risks involved when they signed up for that job?

Joining the police is not just doing a job.

It seems you're getting over-excited about a position that I don't hold.
But are you celebrating the death of this police officer, or are you just another shrugger?

Don't be knob. Hundreds of pilots have died flying but every pilot doesn't sign-up to crash.

Whatever. I'm familiar with the arguments, they've been gone over millions of times before on here.
All I'm really interested in today is which of urban's ACAB contingent is willing to say they will celebrate the death of this police officer.

They sign up in the knowledge of the chances of a crash, though. That's the point.

It’s perfectly possible to hold the position that all coppers are bastards, whilst also holding the view that it’s sad that one was killed on duty. There’s some right bastards on here, but I would still be shocked and appalled if they were murdered.

Apparently, not.

Yeah, I think he might have been talking about the number shot.

Not what was being discussed pal; keep up.

I go to work every day in the knowledge of the chances of getting hit by a bus. Your point is dogshit.

I like to keep a tab on the extent to which views on urban are becoming more moderate over time.

This statement and your point in general is of no value whatsoever. 'Most people know that there is a small chance of dying in your job. Some people are coppers'.
Well done

No, the point being that, unless those signing up to serve in the Police are particularly ignorant, they do so in the knowledge that many hundreds of their former colleagues have died in the line of duty. That's a fact.This statement and your point in general is of no value whatsoever. 'Most people know that there is a small chance of dying in your job. Some people are coppers'.

I think it's bad that he died for a number of reasons. Firstly there is the obvious tragedy to his family.
But also if the cops in Croydon are so incompetent that they can't prevent one of their own getting killed inside a detention centre, what hope is there for local residents? How safe would you feel having anything to do with these clowns?
So no celebration here.

Rather depends what is meant by "Fatal accident" and whether or not that include deaths resulting from a criminal act.

Do you take a similar view to Nox then; people who die in their jobs accepted a risk so shrug your shoulders? What about fireman? They’re just tools too aren’t they?

neither. he is just a statistic. a number. Including, i would wager, to the majority of his colleagues. An economic target now to be aimed at strengthening search procedure as soon as possible.

pretty non-committal that. Try harder.

Everyone who accepts a job does so accepting (consciously or not) a level of risk, coppers included.
Perhaps the reason for any shoulder shrugging wrt the OB is that they've also consciously signed up to their role involving social control, protection of property, and lawful use of violence.
