Well, the inquest concluded he had the gun and that he threw it away, though the shooting remains a lawful killing - so I maintain my "no sympathy" stance on this one. Though I'd hope any failures on behalf of the Police will be investigated properly - I agree with the previous sentiments that the Met aren't the nicest bunch.Last edited by vwdan; 8 January 2014, 16:06.Comment

If he did have a gun, and threw it away, then there was no requirement to shoot him. Those guys are supposed to be pros.Comment

Originally posted by vwdan View PostThe jury accepted that the Police Officer honestly (And reasonably) believed that he had, and was reaching for, a weapon. At the time of the shooting, the Officer didn't know that he'd thrown the gun away. This doesn't seem unreasonable if you consider the dynamic nature of such a stop, and the intelligence that the Officer had.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?
