As many of you know my father is a detective in the Forensics Dept. of the London Police. This morning he had to investigate/clean up the scene of a friend and co-worker. Not a good day for London.

Toronto has pushed a lot of organized crime out of the city in the last year, unfortunately it has moved to London.

i wonder if the police force approaches the investigation more seriously if a cop is killed on duty rather than off duty..?

if he is killed off duty is he still considred a figure of authority or just a civillian...?

does the justice system look at the suspect as if he killed a cop or a civillian..??

As far as I know, they are still charged with killing a cop. I could be mistaken though.

The London free press is painting this as a murder/suicide. The news channel is reporting that the murder has 'nothing to do with his duties as a police officer'.

No matter which way you look at this situation, it is truly sad

gun crime in london is out of control...... whether or not it's related here. since i moved down to london in jan there have been at least 4 shootings, but more disturbing than that is the amount of potential. i was detained by police for a 'disturbance' and got a chance to just shoot the shit w/ the police and while i was detained they received a gun call in the neighborhoood. when i commented on the shooting the previous week the cops informed me the avg has gone up to a gun call a day. not a shooting but for example the call they had that day was a guy seen walking around on his back porch w/ a gun holstered in his belt. not toronto type numbers but you have to remember the size
east london is pooooooooooooooo
