  This is the current picture on yahoo regarding a gutter news piece on the use of taser`s being used during that shoot out the other day. This thread is NOT about that incident, there`s a good thread already covering it. This thread is about what I`ve said before on here about the gutter press and media distorting news items, and creating fictional images of something that maybe or isn`t. Just look at that Nazi style picture portrayed above for the world to see. Our police force. And how many gullible member`s of the public are going to be swayed by these media images? A touch of my other current thread maybe? 50 years of Coronation Street, must be violent looking to feed the public`s hunger?
  Tell them that I came, and no one answered.

  Colin, I can only agree - the press in the UK take so many opportunities to mislead or distort that it makes a mackery of any legal actions a newspaper takes to protect "freedom of the press". I totally support freedom of the press and freedom of expression, but that is usually not what they are blathering about when they take legal action.

  Seems like a doctored pic to me too. Anyone using a weapon is going to be looking where he/she is pointing it and not at a camera that maybe quite a long way away.
