Why? what is so special about Newport? Long time since I been down that way but it just another average South Wales industrial town.
Is it gangland central now or something?

Newport isnt near Kent is it, thought only the new worth reporting was there and 20 years old ?

 

[OMJT]

Changed a fair bit now, the city centre has pretty much died so everything has moved out to retail parks, and they're not doing so well either. There's money being pumped into the place but it's still.... Newport.

Willenhall Street? at least no civilised human beings will have been hurt.

Nice area,

Recovered the firearm, murder suicide?

Probably will turn out to have been dropped by one of the attending officers

Probably. The in thing is for non firearms trained officers to deal with these incidents using "traditional policing methods" while the single ARV dedicated for the whole of Gwent comes from Cardiff.

I shit ye not.

If it happened in Lliswerry (my old area) then probably NHI anyway.

Well not likely to be any rioting, nothing to destroy

How would they tell?

Maybe the shops would be unboarded

Ah, Newport, the Land that Time forgot....

At any one time in S and Mid Wales (the S Wales, Dyfed Powis and Gwent areas) the Rozzers have three armed response cars in circulation, but one of those will be so far from the M4 it might as well be on the moon. The other two divvy up Swansea, Cardiff, Newport and the Valleys depending on prospective need - probably both within two miles of Merthyr!

Also, bear in mind that any Rozzer manning an armed response car will not have fired more than fifty rounds of the Queen's ammo in the last year so will be no more skilled than the scrote he's confronting.

But hopefully have better body armour.

I totally agree with your 1st paragraph. The last is, unfortunately, complete bollocks.
