like the boys in blue us psychiatric nurses see humans at their bloody ugliest frequently and like the cops we are trained to contain restrain and defuse,which is contrary to the natural reaction of fright flight
!yes training does help, but getting into a small room with 6'6"of crazed spitting human screaming in your face as they attempt to douse you in various body fluids or a hot meal or modify your features aint no bloody fun but it must be done.
It makes me laugh some of the comments i hear in hindsight from people who werent there but read reports or rely on anecdotes.
ya should do this or do that i did this to ........-total and utter horseshit,anyone dealing in these situations knows they can go from relative controlled calm to a screaming heap of shite in milliseconds-more so if a party is stressed etcetc.
in short we'll never know what exactly was going through this blokes mind before during or alas after he suffered the wound which proved fatal.nor the minute millisecond decisions taken by a policeman who was left with no option but to fire.
the press coverage is a mishmash of unidentified witnesses most of whom secretly loved their 5mins in the limelight.
All this "in hindsight" palava makes me wonder why humans arent born with eyes in their arsecheeks.
Soft cock academics so beloved of little breathless leftwing MSM reporters,leave me colder than a honeymooners breakfast
.to Prof Kevin Clements i say -"bud until you know the facts of the case your opinion is worth jackshit so be a wise owl and button it."
