British Troops Warned Not To Wear Their Uniforms Off Base In Their Own Country

Counter terror police have warned troops that extremists may try to copy the murder of Lee Rigby.

Soldiers were told to be extra ­vigilant over fears that crazed ­jihadists were plotting an execution like the one in Woolwich when Fusilier Lee, 25, was hacked to death near his base.

Scotland Yard issued the warning at Cavalry Barracks in Hounslow, West London, after learning that fanatics in the area supported the horrific killing. Police, who have stepped up patrols of nearby streets, told Army bosses: “We request that military personnel remain vigilant and take appropriate steps to avoid drawing attention to their status as members of the armed forces.

Arm them and let them wear uniforms. It doubles the police force.

How do they not get that?

How about deporting the radical MUSLIM scum?
It is over the line that these lawless Islamists have interfered and interrupted in lives in Europe and America. When will people get it?
Round them up and send them back to Muslim countries where they will be happy. We do not need them here for diversity, for culture or for population. Get rid of what is unbecoming and unsafe for normal people.
They are nuts!

This is stupid, plain stupid. If a army person can not wear his uniform in fear of Muslim activist then he should not be in the army.

No, no, no. The police have already become too much like the military. They have armoured personnel carriers, military weapons, military vets, etc.

I'm beginning to think these vets who turn cops go by what they knew previously instead of the constitution.

The UCMJ, Uniform Code of Military Justice.

That is much different than the U.S. Constitution. Service members have less rights than civilians under that code.

The vets bring that with them in civilian life, since that is all they have known while in the service, and apply it to civilians in the world.

So in essence these vet cops are in effect taking away citizen rights that they have under the constitution and replacing them with the military rights under the code.

That does not work in the real world with civilians.

That theory is just my opinion of course. I know of no way to prove that yet. But the similarities are there if you study their attitudes and actions. Plus many of them came from a warzone.

Their view us as the enemy, and do what they were trained to do.

Dominate and conquer their enemies. By any means necessary.

They need to be debriefed and retrained prior to entering civilian life. Especially becoming cops.

This practice was in place because of gang style violence against American Troops in Japan
This was the 90's
Travel in groups was the on going order

12:44, this is in Britain, first, and second, I have not read their "constitution", but I am familiar with a thing called the American Revolution when many people gave their lives to get away from British rule.
What I do read here in this article is that the police are afraid of the jihadists and must run screaming like little girls when they see them. To teach their military to act in the same way, to me, is ludicrous.

But, you want to have it that way, may I suggest to you a one way ticket? You'll love it there! The Bobbies are armed with whistles and will raise their pointed finger at the criminals!

I know it was Britian. I was applying the same principal here regarding bad cops.

The rest of your comment does not make any sense at all to me. You are reading something into it I did not say.

It seems to me, after reading your gibberish, that you are one of those that just troll through the threads looking for excuses to be negative and to insult others.

If you can't find an excuse, you make one up, as it appears you have done here.

I would suggest you put down the crack pipe and go take a nap. Maybe after you could make an intelligent statement. Cheerio!
