So he was brought to ground after a car chase and climbed onto the roof of a house, throwing bricks off the chimney onto police and passers-by below. Police with dogs, several transit vans and patrol cars surrounded the house whilst neighbours were forced to abandon the area.

How did the police pursue the matter? They brought in a fire engine with ladder to supply him with a KFC chicken bucket and a can of Pepsi - he rejected the can of Pepsi so they brought him a litre bottle instead ... apparantly they were protecting his human rights!

Honestly you couldn't make it up could you?

I think that is absolutely discraceful. What is the Police force coming to.

They used to lock people up for misdemeanors, but now they force them to eat KFC meals. What a rotten thing to do to him. I don't wander he gave himself up.

I bet he was shouting, "No, please, no more KFC. I'll come quietly guv."

They should bring back the flying squad.......

Fire engine yes.

Use one of its many optional extras like the hose.

If he falls off so be it. I'd charge him for the broken flags too from where he hit the ground.

My thoughts exactly as i watched it on the local news yesterday, sniper would have no problem putting a bullet through the cretin's head, but no us taxpayers gotta pay for the idiot to be molycodled in jail then let off to do it again.

Shot him? Can you imagine the cost in inquests, investigations, compensation claims and so on. The more i think about it the more i think a KFC is cheap option actually.
