As Taser cop is tried for murder, Patel tells police to start ‘zapping’ criminals
She’s homicidal.
The person most likely to cause criminal deaths is the Home Secretary, it seems.
No doubt the Cabinet Office will tell us it’s all innocent and that we shouldn’t read too much into her choice of words.
But that doesn’t change the fact that, as a police officer accused of murdering a former footballer after Tasering him goes on trial, Priti Patel has told the Police Federation she wants them “going out there and actually zapping the really bad people out there”.
She was telling them to make a show of strength as the UK comes out of lockdown – to clamp down hard on potential criminal behaviour before it has a chance to emerge.
At the very least it is a shocking lapse of taste and good judgement; alternatively, it’s incitement for other police officers to kill their suspects.
