First to the mechanics of a head shot. When one is taking out someone with a shot to the head, and they are armed, it is very important that the links to the spinal column are severed. This is why the preferred shot is behind the ear. When one doesn't have perfect conditions for this shot, then a number are placed. This is important to eliminate the involuntary twitch that could set off an explosive, or pull the trigger on a gun.

Second, it was a tragedy. Yes there should and will be an inquest. An error appears to have been made. Very sad, and condolences to the family. I am quite sure the police officer will have much to deal with.

But I ask again. To those that are so quick to judge, what if he had the explosives and your child was killed? I am quite sure you would be right there with criticism.

Those here that just like to bitch and hear themselves do it are transparent as hell.

Mick, feeling a bit grumpy today.
