Day Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 GUN cops smashed their way into a prisoner’s home to free his gerbil. They swooped after the RSPCA warned the pet could be starving to death. It was found alive and taken to a vet, and will now be looked after by the animal charity. But the Saturday night rescue in Derby was branded “absolutely crazy” by local MP Pauline Latham. She said: “Why did they need the armed response unit? What did they think the gerbil was going to do?

RamNut Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I expect they tidied up a bit too. maybe put one or two mugs in the sink to soak. That sort of thing. makes a change from the police in Salisbury who sealed the Skripal's cat up inside the house and left it to starve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because, Pauline, if you actually knew anything about the Police, you would know that the armed response veichles carry the tools that break down doors, not any of the patrol/traffic cars carry that type of kit.

This “I hope it’s not political” is getting a tad old like the Bielsa already knew lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ram1964 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Suspicion was that this gerbil was affiliated to a number of unaffiliated antisocial groups and may have played an integral part in the recent spy gate affair involving Leeds united although this has yet to be confirmed by police. Dispite numerous attempts of questioning the gerbil has refused to cooperate with all enquiries and so far has only been identified as gerbil ,having refused to supply a name.The police are however confident that they have sufficient evidence and reason to keep the accused behind bars for a very long time.
