@spendius,
Lots of concern in the British meeja about the police shooting Mark Duggan.
Now Mark Duggan was a villain, was known to the police, was wanted by the police, who on the day were in hot pursuit, and was carrying a gun. These facts seem to be established.
So my question is, what happened to "Stop or I fire"?
This is not the same as the case of Jean Charles de Menezes.
Okay, he was apparently trying to give himself up. He should have done that sooner. What a waste of public money.
