Cops Suspended Over Illicit Sports Car Roll
Cops Suspended In Greater Manchester After Rolling Confiscated Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VIII Sports Car | UK News | Sky News
oops, I can see them getting the sack for that one must be a bit of a numpty to do something like that.Two police officers have been suspended after confiscating a super-fast sports car from its driver and then crashing it themselves.
The driver of the turbo-charged, four-wheel drive Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VIII was stopped in the early hours of the morning in Hale, Greater Manchester, because of his erratic driving.
The 23-year-old was suspected of drink driving and the constables contacted traffic police who subsequently arrested him and took him away.
The original officers were left to wait for a recovery truck to pick up the sports car.
While waiting, they appear to have decided to take the 270bhp car - which can do 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds and is electronically limited to 156mph - for a spin.
The quick spin turned into a disaster with the four-wheel drive hitting a wall and flipping on its side and then after ploughing into the gardens of two luxury homes.

I don't know about them getting a "sack" or being "numptys" but I bet they might get fired and they sound like a couple of idiots.

Not the brightest of bloody career moves I'm afraid.
SI VIS PACEM PARA BELLUM-Ex-Sheriff Martin Howe to Will Kane in "High Noon"
"It's a great life. You risk your skin catching killers and the juries turn them loose so they can come back and shoot at you again. If your honest , your poor your whole life. And , In the end , you wind up dying all alone on some dirty street. For what? For nothing. For a tin star."
Far from being a handicap to command, compassion is the measure of it. For unless one values the lives of his soldiers and is tormented by their ordeals , he is unfit to command.

I don't know what's worse, the fact that they made that boneheaded play, or that this is considered a fast car.

I've just noticed this at the bottom of the story a local resident had to walk his children to schoolNearby resident Richard Connolly said the crash had caused "carnage" in the area, which is an exclusive suburb on the Cheshire border.
He said: "We have not been able to get out of our house. The road's been closed - I had to walk the kids to school."
might stop them dying before you
