Outrageous but expected. This is one of a whole series of police killings over the years and no police officer has ever been charged for any of them. Harry Stanley is another killing which comes to mind. Visit http://inquest.org.uk/for further information. The police are 'punished' by being suspended on full pay; the coroners instruct the jury that they cannot bring an 'unlawful killing' verdict. Justice, democracy - not in the UK.
Our unarmed police have been on quite a killing spree over the years but a French colleague tells me she knows of no incidence of the armed French police killing anyone. Does anyone have any further information about this? It would seem the armed police treat their firearms as part of the job but our armed units are like little boys with toys.
Then there are the deaths in custody.
PC Dixon was fiction!

I must try assaulting a patient - just a little slap, of course. Perhaps I'll be suspended on full pay for six years which just about takes me to retirement....some hope!
