He wasn't in possession of a gun when he was shot
Did the Police know that for certain?

The statement made suggests that in that circumstance the police have the 'green light' to open fire, regardless of whether the individual is in possession with intent or not.
You are faced with a gangsta boy in possession of a gun (criminal offence in itself). Good luck trying to determine what his intent is.
That's an incredibly narrow-minded and blinkered viewpoint.
I'm waiting for.the first "why didnt they just shoot him in the arm and wound him"
It's worth a watch, is well balanced. The thing is, Duggan was not an entirely innocent family man, neither, it appears, was he a big time player. Some of the fundamental issues are being missed here, it should never have ended up like this. Why did the Police allow Kevin Hutchinson Foster hand over the gun in the first place? Seems obvious that the secret intelligence that we can't be told is that Foster was an informant. I can see how they reached a legal killing verdict regarding the act of the shooting itself but the circumstances around it and the way the Police behave afterwards is entirely unsatisfactory.

In fairness, the first one did exactly that!
Yeah I'm no big fan of the police and the way they do things. I'm also not a big fan of dodgy gangsters wandering around the streets with guns and if someone chooses to go down that route then they know that they are risking everything.
Agreed and got to say that I don't particularly see anything controversial in what [MENTION=600]Bry Nylon[/MENTION] wrote. I bet there's hardly any of us that know someone who carries around an illegal firearm but I bet that we all know the potential consequences of being around that person: you will eventually encounter armed police carrying live ammo and those police don't shoot to injure.
care to elaborate?
I can't unfortunately. Suffice to say, some of them will think nothing of stitching people up and causing untold damage to their lives for the sake of vanity and their own career. Not a fan of this, as I said.

That is a far cry from your irresponsible generalisation of a few posts back. It may be as you describe, but I am sure that this applies to a very small minority.
I'd say it's more than a small minority .
