I just finished watching Aftermath. I hope Banks has to someday investigate his bosse' murder. Since everyone in the squad was talking about the patrol officers who were lovers, then he had to know about, so he's culpable for what happened when the two officers encountered the serial killer. He should have separated those two police officers immediately. He's a hypocrite. Perfectly happy to let a woman get away with 5 murders by pretending to be insane but wouldn't for a moment accept the argument that a young police officer might be out of her mind with shock and grief when she saw her partner murdered before her eyes and hit the killer over the head repeatedly. He didn't want her prosecuted because he objected to the then unarmed murderer being killed, but because he saw it as a chance to make points for his own advancement. He sold out an officer under him for political gain.
If British police carried fire arms this story would have played out very differently. American cops would have gone in guns drawn and shot the lunatic with the machete still in his hand. Self defense, case closed. No police officer would have died.

I don't see the point of carrying unloaded guns, make more sense to not have the weapon at all. American police are required to be carrying loaded side arms when on duty. US military I understand has similar rules to UK. Apparently on bases only the military police are actually caring loaded weapons.
I watched Luther which had those special squads of heavily armed police. In The Fall, which is set in Belfast, the Irish police were armed.

DCI Banks, very interesting show. Lots of strange betrayals going on. Each episode brings new things to think about with the major characters and the 'switch' of who is on the bottom of the pile. Worth watching, but again, not a happy show. Much more somber and leaves you a bit depressed at the end of the episode.
WARNING! This person is extremely blonde...please type SLOWLY.

Its gonna be like that is it? I may not watch any more. I finished Happy Valley. That was very bloody and it was sad to see the strong woman collapse, but she rallied in the end. I got the distinct impression that the kidnapped young woman's father had a reason not to call the police other than the kidnappers telling him not to. Maybe that's covered in the next season/series when it comes out. Be a nice twist if the drug dealer actually kidnapped the daughter of someone higher up the chain.
