You couldn't make it up!

[anneasquith]

RCI wasn't replying to you're post !!!!

[Mamyalynne]

Most definitely a training issue, and one that needs addressing immediately.

[mikey4444]

Agree Mamy, but it hasn't happened yet, has it ?

[anneasquith]

No Talbot. Because I'd miss you .

From my 1819 post
//Certainly but violence and rioting is not any more justifiable than the shooting of this unarmed man. //
I can't make it any easier for you to try and understand. What is mealy mouthed about that?

[-Talbot-]

It's ok folks the officer didn't deliberately shoot the black man.

It was a mistake and he meant to shoot the autistic guy.

//This is as bad a situation as I’ve ever seen. It’s a good thing he was obviously a lousy marksman.”//

Don't think any one can argue with that summing up of the debacle! :-(

[Gromit]

The Police defence is that they were aiming at the ill guy armed with a toy truck. Glad that's been satisfactory cleared up.

A fullsome apology to Retro

he did not as he insists say the police should be given a free hand in these cases as I sneeringly implied he did see above post no 1

the quote was

"do you think the police should be questioned as to their reasons for discharging a firearm or no?”
Yes. A quick debrief back at the nick. A report from each of those involved. A quick assessment by a senior officer to establish whether the firer had “an honest and instinctive belief” that opening fire was reasonable (which should invariably produce a positive answer). A written report to “upstairs”. Job done. "

and it was not retro ( sozza retro )
it was .... New Judge
