Quite a funny joke I found on the internet;

Raoul Moat walks into a bar.

No idea what happens next, I'm frantically clambering out of the fucking toilet window.

I was peeing myself for like 5 minutes!

I'm probably stating the obvious, but why?

Oh for the love of God that is sad

TBH they should have cut him off, there's no dignity in that at all. A reporter deciding; "Hey it's Gazza lets think of the ratings".

Ok I was laughing for 5 minutes then.

Er..yes but why? That was the point. The joke really wasn't that funny, unless your humour threshold is a record breaking low?

moat was obviously mentally ill, and underneath was probably a decent man.he must have been reading the press reports which in the tabliods was so ott it was almost funny.pictures of him aged two months with captions saying."cute,but already with his fist clenched" "menacing look in his eyes" etc.etc.

But you could say that about a lot of criminals. Suicide bombers have been brainwashed. Nonces are clearly mentally ill to do what they do. etc, etc. If someone is killer and a danger to others then they have to get taken out!

Tabloids and other outlets are usually OTT about this kind of thing. It's only a matter of time before they blame everything on pornogrophy, heavy metal music and an addiction to violent computer games.

The way I see it is there were trained psychologists and negotiators their that tried their best not to tip him over the edge, because as you say he wasn't right in the head. With hindsight they perhaps should have let the brother speak to him, but thats only obvious now.

I'd probably think the same as the brother if it were me in that postion. But from a million mile high view I don't see what the police did wrong. Unless it turns out the taser caused him to pull the trigger involunariliy.

I just don't get how anyone can place any responsibility for his death on the police. He was the one running round waving a gun at people, if he'd put it down he would have walked away from it. Even if the taser did cause him to shoot, if he wasn't holding a gun it wouldn't have happened. It was his fault and his fault alone. No one else got hurt so it was job done by the police.

Quite. I think the key lesson here is that holding a loaded shotgun to your neck with your finger on the trigger is really rather dangerous

he may well have been,but those two wouldn't have said any different would they?
was he seen waving a gun at people,apart from those he shot?

maybe the police should have tried this tactic?
