... know someone/a child who was diagnosed with leukaemia, it was many years ago/he sadly died but his death wasn't because of the cancer, the prognosis for that was positive and very treatable... he died an excruciating death because the person administering his radiation treatment gave him 50 times the prescribed dosage...a complete incompetency of someone, in a profession, if you like..that we all place trust in...would we say that because of that..(..and other incompetence's will have happened to other people and lives lost through those as well..)...that the whole medical profession was incompetent/questionable for the job that they're doing...no, obviously...would we say that this person shouldn't have been held accountable because of the good medical people...if it was your child, LT...who had lost their life because someone in a position to be respected by yourself, had used huge misjudgements, 'had not assessed a situation of dosage properly'... would you think it was ok for that person not to be held accountable/because of all of the good work done in the medical profession by other staff...


..I know trained medical staff don't generally encounter weapons being involved with their jobs/and there's a factor in that as well.. but it's still something that's trained and weapons being involved is police training...misjudgements can happen yes but because life or death is so important, when acts are questionable, then accountability has to be there as well...and yes also, that will involve criticism and possible other things in the system, which include race...but there can't be a 'good police force' if it ignores these things...people will carry on being killed when that may not have been the only option...


..and again, if it was your child and a celebrity 'raised an awareness' of that to a 'captive audience'...would you think that was a bad thing, would you not want awareness raised and appreciate anyone who did that...
