Here's another idea.. don't point a gun at someone you're not willing to shoot If he had shot someone for "being on a fence" (not even the kind of fence meant to secure an area, just a "for show" fence that only goes up to about mid thigh).. he'd be in prison right now Or maybe not.. maybe the thin blue line fat clown shoes would've protected him Quote HistoryQuoted:

Those are the actions and words that probably helps them deal with all the other idiots that cannot and will not ever understand. I never served in the military but I have enormous respect for those who know what it is to fight for something. In my short 6 years with my department I have been to two officer funerals for officers in my department(one of which was a friend from my academy and 11 years younger to the day than me) When you wind up with officers from around the state showing up due concepts such as duty, honor, respect, seeing that first hand and being a part of it changes you. Having never been in combat, I have no grounds to even imagine what symbolism honor guards might have for those who have fought and died for this country. I only know what those things mean to me. Being able to tell those men with the funny shoes and hat that the things they are doing are not lost on some of us is probably pretty rewarding. |

Many of the honor guard that I have seen at law enforcement funerals, the ones pulling watch during viewing, are all former or active military. Many of them have served in a military honor guard role as well. Mentioned the funny hat and shoes because that is all that the clueless see. Nevermind that the people in these guard positions are often some of the most duty and honor minded people you will find. There is symbolism and tradition in those hats and shoes. Going to watch the tour guide videos later when on broadband. |

Don't quote me on this, but I believe the guards need to follow a number of steps before they can detain somebody. The last step prior to detention is to warn them off with the weapon. If the person still doesn't back down, they can then be detained by the Guard.

I believe there's also a dedicated "guard" regiment, that does it some times of the year. Obviously, swede1986 can describe it in more detail.
Denmark and the UK uses dedicated guard regiments, who spend a considerable amount of time preparing and training for the guard duty. So only units from the guard regiment(s) are used to protect the Royal family. |

I guess the sergeant of the guard could call the police, if they felt someone needed to be detained - and the police would respond VERY quickly.
There are however a number of steps before they are allowed to shoot somebody.
Verbal warnings are obviously required. A warning shot is also required before you are cleared to actually shoot someone. If physically attacked, however, all options are on the table - whether buttstroke, bayonet or live fire. |

The Life Guards (one of the oldest regiments in the World) has the primary responsibility for ceremonial tasks and for guarding the royals. When those guys are busy elsewhere other units are rotated in. |

That advice has served me well over the years, and not just in the UK

There are places in this world where walking past a certain line, be it painted on the ground, or marked with a sign, will get you shot dead. I'm sure there are some in England, and I'm willing to bet there is a very politely worded sign nearby that says "Keep off fence Please". The sign didn't work. The guard couldn't leave his post. Shouting a command didn't seem to work either. Looks like pointing the rifle worked, and if it hadn't, I bet shooting it would have. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Fuck the queen and her guard. That last guy needs his ass kicked for pointing a rifle at someone for being on a fucking fence.
Go play in traffic. I already apologized, I said I was out of line with what I said, can't do much more than that. Duly noted and thank you for doing so. We all say stuff that is either inappropriate or misguided at times.. Apology accepted as far as I am concerned. |

That last guy needs his ass kicked for pointing a rifle at someone for being on a fucking fence. Maybe the vapid, ignorant tourist shouldn't be on the fence? Try climbing the fence at the White House or any other DC monument and see how many guns get pointed at you. I'll never understand tourists who have nothing better to do on vacation then fuck with a ceremonial guard...while egging their mouthbreathing, short bus riding, sad excuses for children, to do likewise. If they're Americans being shot and killed in the UK by a guard in a bearskin hat would be doing all of us back here a huge favor. I hear you get in the front door. I think the guy that jumped the White House fence should be entitled to live there, with his family. I see what you did there... |

Just looked at my old passport, and the first time I visited the UK was in April of 1987. My highschool English teacher was the head chaperone, and I'll never forget his advice just before we stepped off the 747 at Heathrow: "You are representing the United States ... don't be a dipshit". That advice has served me well over the years, and not just in the UK Good teacher.

Pretty much. The Life Guards (one of the oldest regiments in the World) has the primary responsibility for ceremonial tasks and for guarding the royals. When those guys are busy elsewhere other units are rotated in. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
In Sweden, everyone gets a gold star - so they rotate different units through on guard duty, so that lots of different units get the opportunity to stand guard. I believe there's also a dedicated "guard" regiment, that does it some times of the year. Obviously, swede1986 can describe it in more detail.
Denmark and the UK uses dedicated guard regiments, who spend a considerable amount of time preparing and training for the guard duty. So only units from the guard regiment(s) are used to protect the Royal family. Pretty much. The Life Guards (one of the oldest regiments in the World) has the primary responsibility for ceremonial tasks and for guarding the royals. When those guys are busy elsewhere other units are rotated in. Did you get to wear the orange, red and blue suits? Awesome. j/k lest someone call me an 01er |
