What part of this verdict makes you think that the state is interested in preventing coppers from killing people, or bringing to justice those coppers who do so?

Which raises the question of why they chose to have an armed confrontation on a busy London Street .

an armed confrontation generally requires two armed sides.

I am not worried about more "riots", I am worried that Police officers are emboldened to shoot more black men with tenuous reasons #Duggan

Because the team is focused on their targets. Nothing else. They didn't want all this.

Why hasn't he been shot yet?

Interesting that they put 'violent gangster' first. Whatever he was, executing him was still wrong.

Did the lack of CCTV ever get mentioned?
I am sure that on Ferry Lane where this happened being close to a railway that it is well CCTV'd up.
footage is so easily lost

News also today about Boris Johnson asking Theresa May if she'll please buy him a water cannon. I'm sure that's unrelated though

Police funding up for review.

So many particulars. So many questions.
this whole affair stunk from day 1. First the whispers to the Sun painting the Duggan shot first narrative, then the clamming up of everybody involved, then the vague rumours about how Duggan was part of a wider gang thing. Thats before the magic gun story. The drilled starter pistol that he was apparently armed with that appeared 30 feet away behind some railing. Bull fucking shit. They fucked up and shot a man who was just going about his business

The cops murdered him. The only question for me is was it a preplanned execution or a trigger happy plod? They certainly didn't seem to make any attempt to allow duggan to surrender - no warnings given etc.
The other note worthy factors are how - yet again - the cops deliberatly fed misleading information to the press immediately after the shooting in order to put themselves in the clear. They clearly have a well practiced established system of bullshit and denial that is put into operation everytime they murder someone - de menzies, tomlinson, duggan etc etc.
Also the IPCC are shown up - again - as complicit iwth the cops, incompetent and that the cops can freely flout IPCC guidelines wrt to investigations of police shootings (in this case the firearms squad were allowed to get together and compare their accounts and then refused to be interviewed by the IPCC)

It's the only thing they didn't put in quotation marks.

The reason there's never any footage of policemen doing bad things is because policemen don't do bad things.
I would have thought that was obvious.

He wasn't - you don't help by suggesting that that he was.

Its becoming increasingly clear who the real terrorists are int it. There are 100s more deaths in police custody. The police are a far greater threat to all of us than any other group of people. And if they do kill you, they'll walk. This is getting fuckin scary now to be honest.
It's the quotation marks and their selective use which is the bigger issue
wetting yourself again , people died in those riots,street lighting in tottenham tonight?

Yes I noticed that. Looked like they were suggesting that it was beyond doubt he was a violent gangster, but the fact that his mum loved him remains open to speculation.
