Prominent UK police officer 'disappointed' by Liam Neeson revenge comments

"I think it's disappointing that he has said what he's said and elaborated on that"

A prominent police officer has expressed disappointment at comments by actor Liam Neeson which revealed he once held violent thoughts about killing a black person in revenge after someone close to him was raped.

The Hollywood star provoked widespread criticism after he said he had walked the streets armed with a weapon, hoping he would be approached by someone "so that I could kill him".
