Still gutted about the error (admitted at the Inquest) in not having heavily armed officers with Keith Palmer.
The evil piece of shit would almost certainly have been slain the moment he advanced with weopons.

Ending this on a friendly note, you have my total respect for your 18 years as a policeman. Dealing with with the vermin of society spitting and trying to attack you, whilst protecting the public. I know a few retired and serving policemen (mainly through sitting next to them as fellow season...
