How Many Public Enquiries Must We Endure Now?

until the judiciary are compelled to give the "correct" verdict? To look at this lowlife's family today on the news you could be forgiven for thinking the guy was shot whilst out collecting for the Red cross! I'll have a bet that 10 years from now we'll be crucifying some retired cop, having appealled all the way to the EU supreme court.

[Gromit]

It wasn't a Public Enquiry, it was an inquest. Inquests are not unusual where the cause of death may be in doubt.

But don't let that stop you spitting feathers...

[anneasquith]

why would ' we be crucifying ' a retired cop if he did nothing wrong ?

[ToraToraTora]

My point entirely gromit, this is phase one of many. Whatever it's called now, it'll give years of fruitfull work to our lawyer friends.

[EDDIE51]

Yes TTT it was an Inquest , VERY different from a public enquiry.
It was decided by a coroners jury of 10 people.

[ToraToraTora]

Yes Yes Yes, call it what you like it's the first of many.

[Zacs-Master]

That's it TTT, don't let mere facts get in the way of a good rant.

[askyourgran]

I agree with your OP entirely, but inquests are held every day. I take it it was his mother who gave the rousing 'Shakespearean' speech on the steps outside the Coroners court, and the rent-a-mob of young brain-dead lemmings who shouted down the Police afterwards - what a shower...thank God there are some decent young people out there.

[anneasquith]

it was his aunt.

[askyourgran]

Thanks anne, I was surprised that anyone of them could string a sentence together.

[ToraToraTora]

Lookslike the gangsta supporters on here would rather split hairs than answer the question.

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

None. None is the answer. This wasn't one, so none.

[anneasquith]

ayg, no disrespect but his brother was interviewed and was very articulate.

[ToraToraTora]

ok I'll spell it out for the hard of thinking. Is this Duggan thing over now? or will we have years of various inquests/enquiries/other pedantic name for some legal process designed to make lawyers money and pi55 off the general public.

[Gromit]

There may have to be further investigations because of inconstencies in the police's story.
At the trial of the man charged with supplying Duggan with the gun
// The trial included testimony from seven police officers who were allowed to remain anonymous and use pseudonyms. The Police alleged that Duggan had pulled the gun from his waistband and pointed it at police before they shot him. //
That version of events differs widely from the verson at the inquest. It makes the earlier guilty verdict unsafe.

[Zacs-Master]

How many incorrect facts must we 'endure'. Mmm 'endure'.....interesting choice of word. Personally, what I do if I'm sick of something, I either avoid it or don't let it bother me. I certainly don't 'endure' it.

[Zacs-Master]

Anyway.....some more thoughts here

[askyourgran]

I must have missed that ann.

[ToraToraTora]

if only ZM but it's on the news and in the media all the time, look at today, who is that thinks normal people care about the death of some drug dealing scum, ask most and they's say "result".

[ummmm]

Its not about caring about drug dealing 'scum', it's about being confident in why the police shoot someone.

[ELVIS68]

I see the Aunt gave the black power salute, nice

He deserved to be shot, one less drug dealer off the streets
