Posted by Gez, in reaction to the Police Minister’s/Prime Minister’s defence of Wednesday night’s government press release which claimed that ‘warning shots were fired in the air’ as being written ‘a caldo’ (in the heat of the moment, before there was time to check):

“A caldo”, my foot!

The Vauxhall was stopped in Tal-Qroqq tunnels after 20:00 hrs. At that time in an outside location, it usually is dark, however the tunnels are well lit with halides and there were several policemen from the RIU present on the scene.

It is also plainly evident from the media footage that there were several other people in plain clothes present in that tunnel following its closure to traffic after the incident.

The location is paramount as it is well lit.

You could be forgiven missing the bullet holes if you were out in the dark (although members of the RIU are equipped with powerful torches) but you cannot miss those bullet holes when inspecting the scene in such a well lit area.

    Given the amount of scandals and faux-pas which you must write about I am not so surprised you have lost count however this should in fact read Top Comment (6).

      Thank you, Daphne, you have no idea the service you give us.

      Seriously you are the only lady with balls (forgive me) but you are a force unequaled in journalism.

    Let us not be naive. Those shots were not warning shots and the positions were they hit indicated that PC533 wanted to cause damage to the car and stop it.

    The rear tail light round was probably aimed at the fuel tank. While the round that hit the roof was aimed at the driver.

    Unless of course, PC533 is really bad at shooting and therefore should not be carrying a firearm.

    ‘A cazzo’ is more like it, ghax kollox bl-addocc. Do we now expect Konrad to tell us his press release on his strong marriage, was also ‘a caldo’?
