Same story - different victim. Just another over zealous, trigger-happy cop who was prepared to shoot what he thought was a blackman without observing any of the accepted codes of practice.

The key phrases in the report are:

"a bungling officer shot his colleague nine times"

"The white officer and another colleague were in a vehicle with two black drug suspects, who were surrendering as officers moved in."

How does one justify shooting a man who is surrendering 9 times???????

I wonder how much compensation one of the black 'suspects' would have received HAD they actually have been the victim?
