   >> The disclosure of the payout comes just two months before the inquest into
   the shooting dead of Jean Charles de Menezes at Stockwell Tube station. The force
   is bracing itself for allegations of gung ho behaviour by its firearms unit. <<

   very interesting story, sounds like the nannie culture that seems to be gripping all of western culture just got a bit more ridiculous

   Sounds incredible, yes... The guy is, according to his colleagues,
   usually quite proud of his nickname.

   What looks a bit "not on" is that he didn't accept the apologies
   from the female police chief and went for the money instead...

   Perhaps he was late with paying some bills or something... fair enough,
   but how safe can we feel now knowing that some of the armed
   people supposed to protect us can be driven by monetary gain or/and
   even worst, _might be a bit too sensitive_ (I mean, they are armed!)?!
