Don't carry a gun. Don't carry a knife. Don't risk your life as well as others'. Labour MPs like @HackneyAbbott totally out of touch #Duggan

@LouiseMensch @HackneyAbbott Louise, you're blaming #duggan for the fact the police shot him. You're way out of order. Reprehensible.

.@PennyRed @HackneyAbbott yes, I am, #Duggan is wholly to blame for fact the police shot him, as he was carrying a gun. Not police's fault.

@LouiseMensch @PennyRed @HackneyAbbott What are you talking about? He had the gun nowhere near him! For crying out loud.
 
R5 just pulled Family's press conference outside court.

Said they would record it.

Two things to deal with here: 1) he was killed offering no threat - police murdering, 2) a dick with a gun as part of wider anti-social crime stuff. We're going to have to deal with both if we're serious.
tbh it's a) a class thing - harry stanley, mark duggan, working class men in east london - no attempt to resolve either situation peacefully. b) it's police murder - THEY set up a position in which the copper who killed MD was going to shoot, was frankly conditioned to expect to see a gun, sealing MD's fate. c) if this was to do with crime then they'd have set up a better op e.g. the traditional knock on the door in the morning.
