We're in the pipe, 5 by 5
If a police officer points a gun at me then I would not resist nor continue acting in a manner that would cause them to make a decision, to pull that trigger or not.
This isn't America, yet, it's not a "normal" situation to be faced with a police officer pointing a gun at you.

Well said.
The place for these matters to be decided is in a court of law
We might sometimes be surprised by decisions. We won't always like the decisions or some may trigger our pre existing prejudices one way or another. But all we can do is respect that the legal process ran its course.
This is true
Police footage shows moment Chris Kaba was shot by officer now acquitted of murder – video
Newly released footage shows the incident in which 24-year-old Chris Kaba was fatally shot by police officer Martyn Blake
www.theguardian.com
Video here and it's hard to say what happened after he drove off
As is this, we don't have an issue with police shooting people in this country, which is why it's big news when it happens.

Two other officers who were there have both said that they were a split second from from firing. If this had gone the other way, I suspect many firearms officers around the country would have handed in their tickets. I am also proud to say that my son is a fire arms officer, if there were a terrorist incident, he would be running towards it protecting his community.

The whole story now coming out after the trial. Not a particularly nice person and no wonder the police were armed.

Oh shock there were protesters making it a ‘black lives matter’ case, when in reality they should be saying ‘bellends who think they’re above the law lives matter’. Twats.

It's easy to say such thing from your priveleged position knowing it would be highly unlikely you would ever be in such situation, however, the uncomfortable truth is we live in a country / society where if you are black it's common place. Feel free to argue / pretend otherwise

A crown court jury decided no murder was committed, good to see the system working as it should.
Well, so much for the debate, "Was justice served?" - or for that matter, "Should it have been manslaughter?"The whole story now coming out after the trial. Not a particularly nice person and no wonder the police were armed.

Who effin' cares?!
How many times a year do firearms officers discharge their weapons a year vs times called out/minutes spend at airports etc.
People stop when asked when faced by an armed officer, what ever the background they come from.
Last night on PM they were interviewing a former senior firearms officer who is also black and he said not one shot fired by the police in any operation he led and that there is almost never a shot fired by the police.
