Kudos to Kim for spotting this dumb criminal, who committed 'suicide by cop'. Kim notes that the Brits were more than happy to classify the incident as a suicide to keep the gun crime out of their crime statistics.

That's how Britain keeps its homicide rates down -- they just reclassify them as "suicides". Kim writes:

A guy beat up his wife for having an affair, then when the police came to arrest him, he locked himself in his room, claiming to have a Glock 9mm, which is, and I quote: "...a very powerful gun used by the police."

[pauses for sniggers and guffaws to die down]

The contrast in statistics keeping is pretty interesting. Since the banning of firearms, the Brits seem to want to do anything to sweep gun crime under the rug. Meanwhile, here in the U.S., gun grabbers resort to counting 24 year old gang bangers as "children murdered by gun violence".
