Either way it'll take some explaining, I don't envy them.
Of course, as parents they are entitled to know what happened, but they wont find out any quicker than the process takes. Where cameras aren't worn, especially if there are no other witnesses no one may ever know what exactly DID take place at the scene that day. That's why people are calling for them to be worn and recording devices that are available, to be used in police cars. I don't understand why anyone has a problem with that? |

very odd killing. unmarked cars, pre planned actrion, no body cams, on a slip road with no cctv, and the victim trapped in his car and shot at.
the family say its a pre-planned assassination. the gamble for the inherently racist west yorkshire police is that no one will mind much because the victim is muslim and the discredited ipcc does not in vast majority of cases act against the police. Not odd about a pre-planned stop. Indeed, never heard of the police stopping a car on the off chance of there being a gun. No body cams is explained on the previous page. No "relevant" CCTV - not no CCTV at all - motorway cameras are mounted high to give an overview of traffic and aren't usually useful in seeing down into cars. Also, they only tend to look in one direction. Furthermore, at night they may show absolutely nothing due to low light levels (esp. on unlit carriageways). As for the whole "assassination" conspiracy: Why? If we are to assume there is any truth to it, he must be a VERY bad man given West Yorkshire haven't bothered to "assassinate" anyone else in the past 7 years. |

AFOs dont tend to use use body cams because the technology isn't there quite yet. The met is trialling several solutions. The IPCC themselves have branded them useless.
Also, bodycams are not used with plain clothes officers for obvious reasons. |

From the only reasonable picture I've seen, it looks like the shots were fired from directly in front of the vehicle. Once thing we know is that firearms officers do not shoot through their own front windscreens - period. There's a fair chance of killing/injuring either yourself or your driver if you were stupid enough to try this.

Perhaps you should write for the Guardian. Yes of course the coppers were targeting a dangerous armed drug dealer just because he was Muslim and they were all despicable racists. |

The Country is a safer place to be thanks to the good work of those armed officers.

It was an ambush, a well planned ambush. And rightly so. If a gun is being moved from one place to another what do you expect the police to do? Ask him to be a good boy and hand it in at the station?

It will be questioned why that particular spot with no cctv was chosen, considering the cars had been out of town, to Bradford and back in daylight too, as the incident took place at 6pm.
As for why they didn't stop the car in town most of the time you're going to want a sterile area. You certainly don't want a potential firefight in the middle of a city. |

For this post you should win the deflection oscar - well done.

The cameras are meant to be tiny.

Have you thought about writing for the Sun? I hear theres an opening after Mr McKenzie made accusations which weren't proven and turned out to be complete lies.

Not directed at you but tbh I'm getting a bit sick of hearing this excuse. Those cameras are designed to wear on various parts of the body, not just the shoulder which is the best point for vision. Theres also in-car cameras. Ok, neither of which are 100% certain of catching everything but they can capture part of it and sound. There shouldn't be a need for secrecy.
Trials are ongoing to see where and how best to mount them. They could waste millions in buying cameras for officers that don't really work but then you'd get headlines about police wasting money, so you know... As for dash cams or lack thereof, the IPCC statement doesn't mention them explicitly. |

It's no an excuse it's what those who have investigated past shootings where officers did have cameras have told the police.
