A criminal suspected of 2 gun murders, known to carry a weapon and on the serious wanted list gets shot by police as they suspected he was about to shoot them.

I just dont see what the issue is here?

Or are you suggesting that trained armed police want to kill young black people for fun?

Although on face value your post does sound reasonable, the fact of the matter is the Police shot dead an unarmed man who at the time of being shot did not have a gun in his possession let alone have one aimed at police ready to fire.

The fact that a jury found this "lawful" I think is the worrying thing here as it sets a precedent for the Police to shoot anyone they think "may have a gun" whether they are a known criminal or just a member of the public going about their normal business....!!!

You plainly do not understand what it is like to be an armed officer attending a live incident.

They dont arrive with clipboards and tick things off

1. Is that a gun? tick


Its a bit more chaotic than that I am afraid. The law of the land was exercised and that is that.

I dont care how chaotic things are..........these are highly trained Armed Police officers who cannot just take the life of someone without proper cause and that means seeing a gun and being forced to react to that threat..

Not going in all guns blazing and using the excuse I thought he had a gun

Not good enough..........not nearly good enough !!!!!

Hitting the headlines again thanks to BBCs Panorama, the use of 'hard stops' by firearms officers following surveillance.
Deborah Glass (formally) of the IPCC suggested a formal review of this technique 6yrs ago.
The defence is, what would be a viable alternative? Nobody it appears from the IPCC had an answer so it continued....
