More videos coming out of the rioters. Newly released vids from Birmingham shot looters shooting at unarmed, yes thats right - UNARMED, police helicopters.
Both ground video and aerial night-vision coverage of the shooter and looters are being released in hopes of citizen help in identifying the perpetrator(s).
An attempted murder investigation has been launched after 11 shots were fired as police as they tried to control the disorder in the Birmingham suburb of Newtown late on August 9.[/quote]
Pics & video at link.
Good thing they have that “Gun Control” over there in the U.K.
Wow. Though to be honest it doesn’t look like the video showed any shots being fired at the helicopter. I looks like a gun was pointed at them twice but then lowered without firing.
In the street video smoke from the fired handgun are clearly visible. He raises the weapon, lowers it and then raises it again and fires.
Look for the puff of lighter smoke in the scene.
5 days of rioting and only one or two uses of guns - I’d say gun control is working very well. Can you imagine the carnage if there were hundreds or thousands of armed rioters?

Yes the street scene was quite clear. I’ll watch the helicopter footage more closely. I expected a bigger flash assuming the camera was IR. Actually in the middle of posting I just reviewed the footage again and still didn’t see the smoke. It didn’t help that the screen goes black about the time the shot was presumably fired. I don’t really doubt the shot was fired. I just can’t see it.
In case you haven’t noticed, violent crime has decreased markedly in the U.S.A.
Especially in the states, currently 48 or so out of the “57”, where licensed CCW has come into effect.
Sorry, your “news” is both out-of-date and ridiculously off-topic.
Some rubber-bullets and water cannons were needed for crowd-control…IMO.

In April, a Drug Enforcement Agency undercover agent was shown a hand grenade by an immigrant and was told additional grenades were available from a Mexican military source.[/quote]

Off topic perhaps. But if you want some more relevant data this was published in 2011.
