The police watchdog is investigating the shooting of a man by firearms officers in a village in Kent.

Marksmen went to Tumblefield Road, Stansted, near Sevenoaks, on Saturday morning after reports of an armed man making threats.

Not having a gun would be more suspicious.

Precisely…

I bet the guy was just out to bag a rabbit or pheasant for his supper when he was suddenly surrounded by a SWAT team with assault rifles…

Shame he didn’t take his shooter to the local post office and hold it up – it would have taken them a couple of days to turn up and issue a crime number…  ::)

I may wish to back down a little here. 

The TV report mentioned "Uzi-style machine gun". I was thinking more .410 squirrel-potter. redface:
