Probably drug related

Probably drug related New hordak from 2018 (talk) 18:24, 25 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Have you seen something which has said this? If so, a source would be very helpful. greyzxq ^talk 18:38, 25 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"He said the force had made a number of arrests and drugs and weapons seizures and "the small few cowards who seek to prey on the vulnerability of others for their own greed" will not be tolerated."

That still doesn't say the shooting was drug related, just that the police had found people with drugs whilst the police presence in the area was higher. greyzxq ^talk 17:19, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The BBC would not mention "drug" without a good reason New hordak from 2018 (talk) 17:22, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unless it is directly stated that the shooting was drug related we shouldn't include it, don't make assumptions. greyzxq ^talk 17:26, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I saw this case on the home page, to prove this point, I went straight to use control f to search the key word "drug". Something was found and I was surprised too

Speculation is quite common
