Cowardly top cop.

[Alan BStard]

Acting Met boss witnessed Westminster attack

He should be ashamed of himself.

He's had time since the event to get his cover story right but, like it or not, a cops job from time to time means getting in harms way and this was such an occasion. Yellow bastard.

 

[The]

He could have at least tried to run the kyunt over.

 

[Goat Eyes]

He should go for that. One of his men steps up and he stays in his car.

How can his officers have any respect for him after that.

He is only human so understand him not getting involved but he shouldn’t be top cop I’m afraid.

 

[mux]

Should have been leading by example. Shocking really.

Logon or register to see this image

Nice to see him with his medals on for the funeral. Must be for good paperwork and that.

Statement on retirement of Met Deputy Commissioner


jumping before he's pushed

 

[Pseudonym Number 1]

People jumping to conclusions on half a story again.

 

[Jasper]

Wait a minute, was he armed? If not, what was he supposed to do against a raging maniac with a large knife?

 

[AB22 Easy Tiger]

A friend of mine, and officer in the Met:

So, 'Sir' Craig Mackey locks himself in his car, watches an unarmed PC stabbed to death and when the suspect has been shot dead, drives away instead of helping or leading those on scene. You 'Sir' are a SHAMEFUL COWARD, and not worth the uniform others wear with pride.

As much as any of his practically unarmed officers were expected to do. That’s what. Use the car as a weapon, shout to try and distract the attacker, wrestle him. Something at least. I would never expect a member of the public to get involved (although I’d hope they might). This man however, his rank regardless, is a copper. He should hang his head.

 

[double maxim]

This bloke was on a hiding to nothing here as he would have been damned if he did and damned if he didn't.

People at that level are within the same profession but their roles are worlds apart, he will esentially be a professional manager/administrator/politician and probably hasn't spoken to a villian for 20 years let alone wrestled one with a knife to the ground.

Imagine the PR for IS or whoever the attacker was affiliated with had he managed to kill or wound someone so high profile.

Life isn't like an action film lads.

Well, he didn't. The despicable piece of shit.

 

[palm 1]

He should have done something. To admit locking your doors is beyond embarrassing.

 

[Some Random Guy]

He's unarmed and has no protective gear. I don't think he should be jumping in to that.

As for using his car as a weapon, how many bystanders would he have had to go through to hit the attacker? I'm going to suggest higher than zero, there were enough people about for it to be a terror target.

 

[double maxim]

Well, he didn't. The despicable piece of shit.

But thats assuming whatever he decided to do was the correct course of action and resulted in the attacker being aprihended, not acting like some gaffer in out of his depth and getting in the road.

If he jumped out and got stabbed in the neck, or got in the way of an armed officer shooting him, he would have been branded as being an unprofessional wannabe hero that had no place getting involved in operations on the ground that he was not au fait with.

It sounds like there were procedural failings in the way that area was patrolled which senior officers possibly had some responsibilty for, but the other lads on the ground were far better placed to know how to respond. and from what i understand they got the twat under control in relatively short order.

Unarmed with no protective gear, he’s effectively a desk-based manager in his late 50s.

I can see his logic but it just doesn’t look or sound good. He should have got out and helped.

What's he supposed to do? Be a knife block for the machete wanker?

 

[buster]

Queens police medal not coming his way then.

Wonder how many white feathers he’s received through the post , coward.

Anything but nothing.

In the previous attack there were members of the public getting involved , remember the Millwall supporter?Also there were transport police officers fighting off three attackers with their truncheons despite massive injuries.
As a cop , doing nothing and locking your doors is not an option.
