I have to agree with both points about trusting the police and trusting
shooters! I would agree that about 5% are people who have "something" about
them, an "air" of racism, sexism and unpleasantness. Of whom do I speak?
Police and shooters in equal measure! I think that if we looked at ourselves
as both law officers and firearms certificate holders then we could do
little but agree with both IG and Ant.
We can do little about that "element" with shooting, but I strongly believe
that we get the police we deserve. The report into the Lawrence murder is a
long belated first step. the "canteen culture" is not only a breeding ground
for racism but for the nurturing of anti-gun views etc. etc. However I think
that within ten years that racism will be gone from the police. Anti-gun
sentiment? There will probably be no point in it as ACPO and the Police
Federation will have long before seen to it that all rifled cartridge
weapons are banned and all smoothbore weapons on s1.
