Hanging should be brought back to England, Parliament dos not represent the will of the people on this issue...

LONDON (Reuters) - Police said on Saturday they had arrested a teenager in connection with the murder of Bradford policewoman Sharon Beshenivsky, gunned down as she answered an emergency call about an armed robbery.

They said they arrested the 19-year-old in Birmingham and had taken to him to a police station in West Yorkshire for questioning.

"Enquiries are continuing," a West Yorkshire police spokesman said, adding that police still wanted to trace Muzzaker Imtiaz Shah, 24, and Mustaf Jama, 25, in connection with the shooting.

Police named them as suspects on Friday, when they also issued CCTV pictures of a silver Toyota car of a type they believe may have been used in the robbery.

Beshenivsky, 38, a mother of three children and two step-children, was killed eight days ago after she and fellow officer Teresa Milburn responded to an armed robbery at a travel agency in the centre of Bradford.

Constable Beshenivsky died after being shot in the chest on her youngest daughter's fourth birthday. Milburn was shot in the shoulder in what police have described as an attempted murder.

Beshenivsky's death shocked the country and hundreds of well-wishers have laid flowers at the site of the crime. She was remembered in a two-minute silence in Bradford on Friday.

Thats fine the people are wrong on this issue.
 
Why would this merit hanging more than any other murder?

Or do Brits just want to bring back the death penalty in general.

I think that there is a general desire to bring back the death penalty in England. I would say that it is fairly popular.

The differentiator is that this was someone serving the public. It was for us, for you, not for her. And her daughter now has no Mother.

Certainly the crowds love retribution and revenge - so what? Retribution and revenge against criminals, outlaws, people that make other people's live's hell. GOOD.

The polls leave little doubt, but fortunately the UK has a representative democracy where the matter is subject to debate, so it never passes. Wild-eyed types with Home Counties seats, horsey wives and fit-lookin' daughters throw it into the arena occasionally, generally when there's a Tory sex-scandal to divert attention from. Much of the press is well keen but don't expect it to apply to rich folk with posh lawyers. In the end, it doesn't happen.

And yet British police officers very seldom get shot.

But is this a worse crime than a carefully planned out delibrate murder? AS awful as it is to kill a policeman, the motives are less evil than say....murdering a lover who jilted you.
 
I like the way, when they hang people, their heads can sometimes be pulled right off! Great!
 
As Spike Milligan said long ago: They should be hung, drawn and quartered, shot before a firing squad, then asked to leave the country!
