They raided a house with a SWAT team because someone found one gun in a box on a shelf? Why that big a deal over a gun sitting in a box? I know it is illegal to own guns in England, but is a raid on the home necessary to handle the situation?
shareObviously the gun has been fired recently. But I agree it's a bit over the top.
shareI know, freaking ridiculous!
shareThat entire chunk of the episode was just mind-blowing to me. As you said, the idea that they'd go all-out like that with SWAT just for a single handgun sitting quietly on a shelf -- that seemed far-fetched to me.
But then the whole drama connected to that, about the formal inquiry regarding the "unlawful shooting" or some shit.
I kept yelling at my phone, things like, "They ran in with real guns and ONLY Tased the guy! That's a WIN for everyone, what the hell is wrong with you all??" and "The old guy was wielding the cane above his head like a weapon, THEY COULD HAVE SHOT HIM WITH A REAL GUN!" and "How in the absolute hell is any of this MORTON'S fault?!"
Whew. Yeah. That whole episode was exhausting and frustrating to watch.
