Among other crimes in London moped crime is an epidemic and this tactic seems absolutely justified to me. Some officers are being investigated over this tactic right now. Hope they’re not punished.
It’s tricky because on the one hand the Met Police say these are highly trained officers using a new tactic that’s intended to demobilise criminals on mopeds in as safe a manner as possible, but on the other hand an injury happened and the officer is possibly taking the hit.
I mean, shit Mr Sherlock; injuries are likely this way. I’d hope there’s some form of leniency for the fact the guy was injured during police pursuit for suspected crimes, unless the cop was overly aggressive in hitting him.
So it’s just common sense then. “A carefully controlled tactic” or just run the fuckers over. Play GTA and you’re all trained up to perform this carefully controlled tactic. Fair play though. Common sense prevails.
As a Londoner i haven’t got a single problem with this even in the slightest. And i hope they are also charging the moped thieves for any damage caused to the police car as well!
So, essentially just run them over… Lol
I recommend increasing the average speed of impacts until the offenders are generally unable to run away from the wrecks.
Who are the primary people responsible for this uptick in moped crimes that has warranted such a drastic effort by police to curb them?
Fucking genius.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
That last one was pretty fast.
I do that all the time in GTA V… I might hit them a little harder.
fucking awesome, “Let’s just run them the fuck over!” why didn’t anyone ever think of this before.
God damn that was satisfying to watch.
I mean, fuck them. I don’t care if a bunch of thieving scumbags get their brains splattered on the road. That’s their problem.

Real life Grand Theft Auto right there. Looks like moped criminals just earned themselves another wanted star.
That is absolutely satisfying on so many levels, fuck this scum. Keep doing what you are doing London Police

This has been gaining traction for the last week or so here in the UK.
But there’s also a case of an officer possibly [facing charges](https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-england-london-46440172 ) for injuries sustained by a teenage moped thief.

Extra points, right?

Police Chief: How do we stop all of the moped thieves?
Officer: What if we hit them with cars
Police Chief: Fucking Brilliant
#??
>people being indignent to being knocked over
“How dare you stop me from committing crime!”
100% Approve of this tactic. Fuck these criminals.

Good on ’em. Violent thievery needs to be met with violent police intervention, or else the thievery would continue.
I’m 100% on board with this
I bet the reason why 7000 crimes have gone down is because there the same people committing the crime.
As someone who earlier this year got their phone nicked by someone on a moped, I like this tactic a lot!
#MOVE BITCH, GET OUT THA WAY
Fucking good reverse over the bellends while they’re at it i’ll vote for that
Run the cunts over as well.
i like it
I don’t give a fuck if the police literally run over the moped operators. Fuck thieves.
To anyone suprised by this here’s a news report on how moped gangs get thier vehicles.

When your wanted level is over 2 stars in GTA.
Damn good on the police, give them what they deserve
Fuck yes. In this age of PC bullshit where everyone seems to have their hands tied, this is entirely refreshing to watch.
muh rights muh rights. lmao
