With the death of two young black men recently, it seems that tension is repeating and I fear a repeat of the 2011 riots. Anyone feel the same? I don't get how the latest death is the police's fault. It appears he swallowed the drugs while being chased by police. How that makes it the police's fault I don't know. Ludicrous to think the head of a "diversity" group at Cambridge University is encouraging violence.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-40766858 Just goes to show that a 9/11 sized plot is still viable. Thank god they were stopped.

Steam downloaded the files, but says content file locked, and I can't launch GTA IV. figured out what it was, avast blocked gtaiv.exe being downloaded. now works, i think. It now won't launch past social club

Will it get rid of things like road mods. Like I had a UK road mod, will it get rid of that.

I was trying to install new weapons sounds when I must have deleted weapons.ivaud. SparkIV won't let me add the file. How can I fix this? Will verifying game files get rid of mods? Thanks, qwerty

True, but it is ultimately the cause of high population and thus more pollution isn't it? I think the USA just wouldn't have such a high pollution problem like that, sure in some places, but it mostly comes from factories. Under the current Trump administration, I honestly doubt we will see any type of climate laws passed.

Surely if he had not done anything wrong he wouldn't mind making a statement? Ridiculous. In the UK, the police chiefs are very anti when someone shoots someone (usually from ethnic minority and usually considered to be unarmed). If that happened in the UK, he would probably be in the dock for murder right now. One extreme to the other.

I think its one of these things that it will all die down in a few years. I think politicians are ignoring the bigger problem - IMMIGRATION AND SUBSEQUENTLY POPULATION. You wouldn't have the problem if cars were so widely avaliable and that we let a million odd immigrants in. Improve public transport and make it cheaper and that will help. But I struggle to see how anyone will trust this from the government considering that we will told by them before diesels were more economical. Granted a different party, but still. I think diesels banned maybe but at least allow petrol - I really think 2040 is still too soon. 2025 is definitely, but then the UK has an extra 60 million people. And it seems like Norway is a country that easily adapts to changes, such as arming its police. Buses in the big cities here, particuarly London, tend to be either hybrid or fully electric, but in the smaller towns like where I live, they are diesel. Granted we have fewer buses, smaller populations, and much more green space so its not such a problem.

I can somehow potentially understand that it may have been mistaken for a gunshot, but I think its just a lousy excuse. I will be interested to find out if the officer has to go to court.

They are now saying a woman "slapped the patrol car"? So are they basically trying to say a woman, just slapped the trunk of a police car for no apparent reason.

Will have ago! Is it launched from GeForce Experience?

I have Nvidia doesn't shadowplay lag horrendously though?

I just get a black screen after installing an ENB. How can I fix this? qwerty

How can I convert a .ivaud siren to a .awc siren for GTA 5. I have tried using a tool that lets me extract the files but it won't let me do it due to the source array not being long enough. Any ideas? Here is the tool http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=9850 Thanks, qwerty

I think the officer who shot her should be made to give a statement (change the law). As mentioned, while dangerous, shooting from vehicles is more common than you think, and here in the UK, often when armed police stop a vehicle, some won't get out but they'll point rifles out of the window at the suspect. Wouldn't want to do it with something like a G36, but a 5.56mm weapon that is accurate, then yes. I hope the officer faces charges.

Interesting opinion, coming from the States. Most guys seem to think we're crazy. Maybe I'm just generalising. It just seems to me with such high knife crime in London, and considering most officers still don't carry Tasers and only carry a ASP (extendable) baton and pepper spray, it just seems insufficient in inner city areas. In rural areas, there is less need for guns, because the guns in rural areas are mostly legal and belong to gun owners. In inner city areas? All belong to gangs.

figured out how to get obs working, thanks anyway any problems I'll try that :-)

So I record it and then it just shows black?

I did and will try that again it just didn't record anything with me

I installed the creators update. I've found my GTA IV has been crashing as a result of Game DVR. Is there any other alternative screen recorder that is cheap or free, and that is good to record gameplay and gameplay audio with? Thanks, qwerty

Yeah, that is true, what forces are they doing that for? I know Durham and Cleveland do it, as well as Thames Valley, believe Norfolk and Suffolk does it too. Essex used to do it but they got separate departments in the end. I don't believe gun crime would increase by that much if at all if handguns were legalised. Granted a different country, but look at the gun laws in America. Some of the states with the tightest - have the highest rates. Chicago, New Orleans etc. Yet take Texas - the safest city in the USA is El Paso in Texas and you can buy a gun within a day in Texas. And I'm pretty sure the gun crime rate was lower before Dunblane than it is now. Criminals get guns illegally anyway, mostly, and with all the recent acid attacks, it proves they will just use other methods. The way I see it, it just seems crazy to have such violent crime as the UK does and for most police officers still only having access to a baton and CS spray. Times have moved on, policing needs to move with it.

Funding is true, but I think a way around it woud simply to be legalise handguns and whatever officers wanted to be trained in one, they could buy their own provoiding it was approved, and recieve basic training from firearms instructors. In someways, before ARVs, we were still pretty prepared and more in rural areas to a certain extent because every station had revolvers and there would be AFOs at every station. Granted they would be kept at the station and not carried on duty, but in terms of a Lee Rigby style attack, could be very useful.

The thing is, is that most police officers in the UK (who are obviously unarmed) are basically left to be members of the public during a terrorist attack or an armed callout. In the Lee Rigby attack, they literally had to stand behind the cordon while brave members of the public tried to talk to the attackers. In a bank robbery, they are told to "take cover and call for backup" as explained by ex Met marksman Tony Long (who shot 5 people, killing 3 of them, making him the UK's deadliest police officer). A US cop replied to him with "So you basically tell them to do what you tell members of the public to do?" Too true.

He risked his partners life and his own! Could have narrowly missed or ricocheted! Its ridiculous them not being able to get a statement. I'm pretty sure its standard procedure when an officer kills someone.

Ironically, with that public perception, I believe from recent surveys (how accurate I don't know) that the public is generally in favour of arming the police. I think the Met is actually one of the forces in least need of having a fully armed police force. There are over 500 officers who are ARV trained. Not to mention the 130 CTSFOs and the DPG. If you look at other forces, such as Essex (which actually has quite a high number of firearms officers compared to some), there are around 120 officers. 2 per ARV, thats about 60 ARVs. Most forces have around 50 to 80 firearms officers. If some guy went on a rampage with a knife, or lets say, attacked a church in some commuter London suburb like the terrorists in France last year did, they could be waiting 15 minuets plus for an ARV to arrive. And I still believe officers should be allowed to have a gun in the Met. They face a huge number of scumbags on a daily basis who are ready to kill them outright. Criminals are laughing at the UK police and justice system right now. They know that most police officers don't carry guns, and that the public has a perception that firearms are illegal. I do like the system of keeping a gun in the car, but what happens if they go to a call and some guy with a knife or a gun comes up? They've got to run back to the car and risk their lives. In the early ARVs in the 90s, they did used to keep their revolvers locked in the car and required authorisation to remove them. They soon got rid of this because the handguns are mostly their for personal protection. ARV officers do not usually remove their rifles from vehicles until an armed callout, or after authorisation is gained from the control room. The same approach should be taken with response officers. If the policeman on the scene at London Bridge had a handgun, he could have killed the terrorists outright. 8 minuets is a half decent response time, but its still in the middle of London and still too long in my opinion. But better than the Lee Rigby attack. But then, that was in a London suburb. I imagine the response time to somewhere like Woolwich would be the same today. Regarding standards, response officers should only be trained to fire, load, and handle the pistol correctly. There is no need for tactics. The guns are there for a last resort and for personal protection. For anything more than a person with a knife or a gun (ie person with a gun barricades himself inside a house), ARVs should be deployed. Maybe public order units could carry a member of the team or more armed with a gun? TSG already do, but not on a regular basis. Like they have a medic on board each carrier, make it so one team member is an AFO. That way you have every officer with a Taser, riot shield, helmets, and a gun.
