I think ultimately, the below highlights how lacklustre and amature the whole operation was: One of the officers who had surrounded Duggan was hit by a bullet, which had lodged in his radio. However, it had not been fired by Duggan but by the policeman identified only as V53, before it passed through Duggan's arm and hit the officer. The shot policeman was taken to a hospital and released the same evening. Forgive the cut and paste from Wikipedia. Duggan could have been apprehended better, contained better and probably left serving a long sentance if not for the poor judgement of a Police officer. That's not a lawful killing for me. However, the fact that the shooting officer has been removed from firearms duty is definetly the right course of action to take. Clearly not up to the job. I also find it incredible that officers can and did refuse to be interviewed by the IPCC. Edited by JL85 (10 Jun 2015 6.04pm) Police officers are also entitled to the same rights as anyone interviewed under caution. Was it under caution? If I refused a disciplinary at work, I'd be sacked. Regardless, they refused to be interviewed altogether, a right that doesn't extend to me and you. Edited by JL85 (11 Jun 2015 10.40pm) Errr again you are wrong. You have the right to legal representation and any interview under caution, and you also have the right to pass "no Comment" on any questions posed to you. Just the same as if a police officer was arrested and interviewed under caution, the fact is the firearms officers were not arrested, and have every right to refuse to be questioned. Just as if you were a stander by and police asked you to make a statement, you could refuse. So before you start with your 9/11 style wild accusations get your facts straight.

I'm with ghosteagle and unfortunately the law doesn't act on balance of probability. As a juror you have to be absolutely 100% sure a defendant is guilty to pass a guilty judgement. The same should go for armed police, imo. Balance of probability killed Mark Duggan, who, yes, was scum. But balance of probability also killed alot of innocent people down the years too. It's not acceptable and we should demand more from our police, especially those carrying live fire arms. You're right the law doesn't act on the balance of probability, but this wasn't a criminal trial, it was an inquest. It doesn't matter what it was or wasn't. A humans life should never be taken on a balance of probability. The officer failed his duty, in my eyes, and wrongly killed a man. That's not to say he should be demonised, I won't claim to have done differently, but then, I'm not a trained Police marksman.
You can only really work on the information that you have available to you. Duggan had just purchased a firearm from friend, who was also a police informant I believe, when the police intercepted the taxi he was travelling in, Duggan disposed of the gun it seems, but its reasonable to assume the police, from the evidence, we not aware of that fact, and were still to the best of their knowledge dealing with an armed suspect. Its a regrettable outcome, that an unarmed man was shot and killed. Pending further evidence, its hard not to accepted that whilst regrettable, the evidence points towards a lawful shooting. It's still all assumption based though Jamie, and whilst i appreciate that you never have 100% knolwdge that man is armed/unarmed, the way he is followed, contained etc makes a big difference. He was shot whilst running away. And he was unarmed. It's not acceptable imo. As already mentioned he wasn't running away. As for being unarmed that is a moot point. If you were walking down the street and the police pulled up in front of you and shot you, then that's shooting an unarmed person. You decide to roam the streets with a firearm you are armed. Deciding to throw it away at the last moment is irrelevant Big boys games - big boys rules.
All this chest puffing by the family is a money earner, as they have already been informed by their councel that the coroners verdict has no influence on any civil action. No Justice no Peace, Bollicks ! that women is a calculating old hag who can see dollar signs. The police are valid witnesses too, as is the cab driver (although they're not bystander witnesses). The accounts of Witness B and the Cab driver aren't consistent, and witness B also was shown to have given a different story to journalists (probably not intentionally).

There is no good reason or any reason at all to own an illegal firearm, he was obviously a scumbag s*** c***. I call that a win. Wether he was shot rightly or wrongly I couldn't care less. Bring me the copper I'll shake his hand and buy him a drink, There are plenty of reasons to own an illegal firearm, especially if your a criminal, most of them are good, if not legal reasons. Its like knives, a lot of people end up carrying knives because they live in places where stabbings are a real possibility. Similarly with criminals and guns, it makes sense at a certain level to have a capacity for self defense and protection of your trade that's proportional to the threat. Being in a knife fight without a knife is a bad prospect, being in a 'gun fight' without a gun is suicidal. I disagree with the idea the idea that the police operating as extra judicial murder squads could ever be a good thing. The world wasn't improved as a result of this shooting, as it essentially triggered events that escalated into some of the worst rioting the UK has seen in decades, in which three people (I think) died.

Edited by JL85 (11 Jun 2015 10.40pm) Firstly, at a work disciplinary, you do not have to talk, have the right to representation and the onis is on the employer to provide grounds for sackings. As the statements made in a disciplinary can be used in a tribunal you are under no obligation to provide self incriminating evidence. If the interview statements could be used as evidence in a criminal prosecution, then you do not have to participate. The UK justice systems are accusatory and the onis is on those bringing the case and charges to prove their case. What the individuals probably are required to do is provide an official statement of the events that transpired, as part of their role as police officers. If the IPCC interview could be used as evidence, then they have no obligation to comply with proceedings - In likelihood they would be suspended, pending the outcome, or placed on administrative duties.

You seem so desperate to drag this to a some sort consiparcy chat? My facts are straight, the Cab Driver was closer then anyone to the shooting. Seems you're the one who needs to get his wild accusations under control. Also, once again, i would HAVE to attend an inteview under caution. I'd have no choice in the matter. Somehow, the Police don't. Which is staggering, considering they just shot an unarmed man. But, in your frothing, finger pointing quest to label everyone who disagree's with you a "9/11 conspiracy theorist" you glossed that point over.
