Raoul Moat Taser company director 'kills himself'

Hi guys,

Sorry if this has already been posted, I've only just seen it on the 10PM UK news and ran a quick search which didn't find anything:

The director of operations of the firm which supplied the Tasers used during the stand-off with gunman Raoul Moat is understood to have killed himself.

Former police officer Peter Boatman, of the Daventry firm Pro-Tect, was found dead on Friday morning, his business partner said.

My thoughts exactly, another innocent life lost, even more upsetting is the fact that this man thought the products his company sold would avoid loss of life...

*BUMP*

Unless I'm mistaken and theres already a thread about this, I honestly think it should recieve more attention...

So it has been decided that it was Pro Tech's fault for supplying the weapons after their license had been revoked.

Doesn't any fault lie with the police who bought these unlicensed weapons?

If i were to buy an unlicensed weapon, it would not only be the person supplying the guns that gets done, i would too.

I'm not saying that the officers on the ground should face concequences, more the people from the police that orchestrated the purchase from Pro Tech. Surely there are proceedures to ensure required licenses are up to date?

More like he was suicided.

CX.

Poor man. It's not hard to predict that this is the beginning of a huge wave of these suicides. Many many small busineses are being closed down every day. Starting your own must be extremely stressful when the rug can be pulled from under you at any second.
