Very sad at the death of a serving Police Officer, Inspector Brandi Swann - Selver who passed away today after a long period of illness. Inspector Swann-Selver was a dedicated officer who fought her battles with courage and spirit. She will be very much missed.

If armed officers make error of judgement in microseconds when facing a high threat, is a murder charge appropriate? Other professions make errors of judgement where there is a loss of life, without it seems that sanction? (pilots?) I hope the review looks at this wider view.

The debate needs to be had but this article is so offensive and it adds nothing to an important moment for UK Armed Policing, legitimacy and public confidence. This moment needs clear heads, informed dialogue and compassion for all involved in incidents. Not this nonsense.

What a load of offensive drivel. Ashamed she temporally lead my force. No doubt written to raise her consulting fees just like all the sexism issues she waited until after retirement to shout about & sell rather than do anything whilst a senior leader.

My hero would have been 90 today but we lost him 22 years ago. My dad was my hero and he shaped my personal and professional life, making sure I put others before myself, to protect the vulnerable and those in need and to be human. He still guides me today when life gets tough.
