This is the point exactly and it works both ways. Our police force has been judged to be institutionally racist and lied about many of the details in this incident, shouldn't we be glad the there was an inquest and that people are still interested enough to talk about the questions which weren't answered to ensure it doesn't happen again?
I have tried not to post on this thread as some peoples ideas about the real world just beggar belief The Police are trained to shoot to kill, not to disable or shoot the weapon out of the baddies hand as so many people seem to think they should be. I pity any poor Police Officer who has to make the decision to open fire as he will recieve nothing but complaints from certain sections of the media and members of the public. How anyone can defend such a person as Duggan is beyond belief. All I would say to those people is how would you feel if the Police had taken no action against Duggan or indeed anyone who they knew or believed to be, carrying a gun and that person later shot and killed a member of their family, would you still be apologising for therm (him) I think not. |

Excuse me ! "Our Police Force" has not been judged anything of the kind. The Macpherson report came to the conclusion that the Metropolitan Police was, but not the Police as a whole.

Many of the those decisions and actions do no meet a professional conduct that many of us expect and need to maintain confidence in them. The actual shooting is not the biggest concern in this. Its the conspiracy and lies that have raised the questions and that is their own doing, not Duggans. |

The case is closed...
The family are being allowed to appeal the lawful killing verdict. That might even be why the BBC decided to show us this oddly timed programme - because it's returning to the headlines in the new year.

I can't see the outcome changing but I'm glad they showed the programme, it provided a more honest view than the one we had been led to believe.
Duggan contributed to his death by putting himself in the situation. We fortunately live in a country where this kind of incident is rare. However I have little sympathy for someone who decides to carry a firearm. Does/should that mean death? Of course not, but I would fully understand that if I was carrying a gun it would increase the liklihood of me being shot, mistakenly or not. It was found to be lawful killing, that's how it should be left. |

Hillsborough, Rotherham, Stephen Lawrence, dismissive attitudes to the victims and the smear campaigns surrounding them have taught us that you can't believe everything you're told, and thankfully we'll be a better society for it.

No questions, who cares what the truth is, no lessons learnt. Closed case and thats it?

If he hadn't carried a gun then none of this would have happened. I also believe most of the population couldn't care less about duggan. |

Of course you can compare all of it, theres a pattern of behaviour that needs to be addressed. Liverpool fans were painted as utter thugs and it was complete lies. There was a good programme* on about it last night, it was shocking.
*ETA - Exposure, Hillsborough - Smears, Survivors and the Search for Truth. If there was a pattern of people getting shot by police on a regular basis then you might be onto something. Also we have to take each incident on its own merits, to not do so would be to show prejudice. It would be wrong of anyone to use the wrong doings of an organisation some 30-40 years ago and apply it to the events that occurred here. |

This was an individual travelling with a firearm. The set of circumstances are far more simplistic.

The pattern is in the conspiracy and lies, not to mention the unsubstantiated accusations to deflect from their own errors.We know they lied about some of the details of this incident, why and what else did they lie about? For all we know that gun was never in Duggan's possession. |

I know.I've watched the traffic cop programmes and they freely admit that they enjoy the chases and the speed. Guns and a position of power would attract a certain type of person, I'm not saying thats whats happened here but its not beyond belief that theres a loose cannon amongst them. This is why its so important to thoroughly investigate and explain every shooting. |

I sympathise with your attempts to educate some of the people on this thread. Unfortunately many on here have an absolute and unwavering blind faith in the police and therefore fail to understand that the police cannot be allowed to act with impunity. Being allowed to shoot someone simply because they are a "wrong'un" or "toe rag" is a slippery slope to something far worse in my opinion.

Some posters just say any old guff just to be contrary, it was conclusively proved Duggan was given a gun in the taxi. Do keep up, or you look a bit foolish .

The days of George Dixon and the Blue Lamp for the British bobby have sadly drawn to a close and whilst I agree that the police should not shoot someone for being a toe rag or wrong'un equally they should not be expected to be shot at by gangsters, wannabe or otherwise, which Duggan undoubtedly was. I would not take the risk, and I don't see why those acting on my behalf and on behalf of law abiding folk, the police, should either. |

If you don't believe that the gun was in his possession then you must also believe that he was not supplied a gun by Kevin Hutchinson-Foster yet he has been convicted of supplying a gun to Mark Duggan and is doing a 7 year stretch for his troubles. As nothing can be done to bring Mr Duggan back, and as you clearly believe that the gun was planted on Duggan post mortem, then it must follow that Hutchinson-Foster's conviction is unsound and you should direct your energies into procuring Mr Hutchinson-Foster's release.

There's just been another man shot (murdered?) by the police on a motorway ship road and I'm gobsmacked that in 2017 we still find that armed officers are conducting operations without body cameras.
If our normal beat bobbies can wear them while they're dealing with their mundane duties and everyday incidents, why aren't they recording serious incidents such as these (potentially controversial) shootings? |

I suspect that a lot of the time they will not show much. If they shot the drug dealer from inside their car then the camera would likely be obstructed and if the were out of the car then they would probably be behind the car to get some protection from the drug dealer's firearm so again the camera would be obstructed. |

One less scumbag walking (more like driving his very expensive car) on the streets.
Not a very nice character by all accounts. I won't lose any sleep over him being slotted. Same goes for Duggan. He got what was coming to him & his acolites took it as an excuse to murder & loot the country. Plod were too soft on them then. Water cannons, then live rounds would've worked wonders. |
