Armed police dealing with incident around Railway Station, North Quay roads closed

[Gizo]

Thats why they're  the bastard squad. Since were not allowed to call them the pigs any more.  Man having mental health crisis and go in all guns blazing. For certain they will do the same as that incident in Australia a few weeks back killing an innocent old dear.

I for one am sick and tired of the IOM police killing loads of people, particularly the old ones. When will they learn?

I heard it was Dlas councillors leaving a free bar extraordinary meeting to discuss expanding into Lezayre!!!!

It's amazing that you have no detail of the incident yet know how it should be handled. I believe the police are recruiting at the moment so get your application. You could save the taxpayer a fortune with your psychic abilities.

I've sent in my application, but also signed myself off for 18 months with stress as I know how hard the job can be.

Makes it harder to ID who shot a bystander's dog, or punched a victim's wife.

The police need to be careful that they're not overdoing it. They're not the SAS and they shouldn't be scaring little old ladies carrying their shopping from Tesco's up North Quay.

I don’t think the SAS do that.

IOM police and responding to someone's mental health crisis with armed officers and a dozen squad cars, name a more iconic duo.

I thought the chief constable said they weren't going to respond to situations where the main problem is mental health.

Only if there’s no immediate risk

Depends on the nature of the call. If say they were threatening people then the police would still attend

Hide their identity...small island. Imagine bumping into someone in your local pub who you'd shot dead last week.

More likely bumping into a dog you had Tasered.

There's still a few pubs where that would be possible
