Splendid! A means of allowing the citizens to get to know the local police dogs. That way when you happen to innocently stray near a G7 protest and the pup latches onto your genitals, you'll be able to address him by name. :laugh:
You don't "happen innocently stray near". At the very best you are actively participating in a DOS attack against measures to preserve public safety and security, clogging input and analysis channels. :suss:

Northumbria Police force, ever vigilant in the fight against crime has launched Puppycam[^] (presumably to ensure that the dogs aren't stolen).

It looks like one of the puppies has pulled the plug out of the webcam! aaahhhhhh cute! :D

"It looks like one of the puppies has pulled the plug out of the webcam! (due to technical difficulties the web cam will unavailable for a short period of time - back soon!)" A webcam to a puppy is like a shoe...something to chew on, play with and then bury in the backyard...

:confused: I guess the guy that was killed in London, trying to get home from work, was an active participant in a DOS attack?
If you think about it, most of our security measures can be easily disabled - or used to create havoc - when applying the concept of Denial of Service attacks. The London accident was - in a way - a logical conclusion of overhyped and underdelivering FoF tests. Dark skinned and in a heavy coat my ass. I can't blame the officers, only the policies that led to it.

Ummm... it wasn't an 'accident' - I believe criminal charges resulted.

Lost me on this one.

See the above reference to criminal charges - if I'm right about that, it would seem that the government has no qualms about blaming the officers involved. Although I suppose that shouldn't come as a surprise. ;P

Are we talking of different incidents[^]?

That was the initial "explanation". Even if it was true it's barely anything at all.

| FoldWithUs! | sighist | µLaunch - program launcher for server core and hyper-v serverYup, sure are. :-D Can't remember the guy's name, but an individual who worked in London - I think he ran a newsstand, or something - was beaten to death by a group of police when he got too near a demonstration a few months back. One of the Brits may be able to fill in the details a bit better. He was apparently trying to go home after work - had nothing to do with the demonstration, and wasn't really anywhere near any center of violent action.

Ian Tomlinson - he wasn't beaten to death but he was pushed to the ground by riot police while he was walking home. He later dropped and died of a heart attack.
Was it a heart attack or was it due to internal bleeding? I seem to recall there being debate about the cause of death. [edit] Ian Tomlinson, 47, was struck and pushed over by a police officer during G20 protests on 1 April in the City. Now a fresh post-mortem examination has found he died of abdominal bleeding, not a heart attack, as first thought. Lawyers for the family said the new post-mortem test raised the likelihood of a manslaughter charge. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8004222.stm[^] [/edit]
