Mark Duggan shooting inquest in London finally starts...

[xes]

no i don't think a copper will get done for it as none got done for de menezes or for harry stanley. why is it unlike me?

I thought you were suggesting that a policeman was going to be held accountable for their actions. And knowing past results, I thought that would be unlike you, because you've seen what way this usually turns out.

an unlawful killing verdict sadly does not indicate anyone will be held to account

Inquest purpose 1540: Ben Geoghegan BBC Political correspondent
An inquest is not the same as a trial. Its aim is to try to establish the facts of what happened, allay public fears and point to culpable conduct.

Shame this was not given on a Friday in the summer rather than a miserable Wednesday in January.

Well the result was due at 1530, then moved until 1540, now 1550; rain's forecast for 1600, will help put the flames out I guess.

Unlawful killing's out the window, then...

Looking that way...

 

[spliff]

Yup.

what they said was he threw the gun before he was shot > so i thought it more likely to lead to an unlawful killing because he was unarmed. but apparently not.

 

[Pickman's model]

wouldn't be surprised it if kicks off tonight or tomorrow.

 

[brogdale]

That'll go down well.

 

[twentythreedom]

Shooting an unarmed man is lawful

 

[TopCat]

Lawfully killed. What a fucking white wash.

 

[8ball]

Bet the Met are happy this isn't happening in July.

 

[ddraig]

Certainly the way the BBC presented it, that didnt make much sense. Hopefully there will be considerably more detail released soon.
