He did not have the gun on him. He did not threaten the police. He was not a threat, as they had no proof he had a gun.
"He was being followed by officers who believed he planned to pick up a gun from another man and then move on to Broadwater Farm, also in Tottenham". The jury said that Mr Duggan had a gun in the taxi with him before it was stopped, and by a majority of nine to one that it was more likely than not that he had thrown it onto a grassy area near the scene as soon as the car was stopped. Eight jurors said that they were sure that he did not have a gun in his hand when he was shot. The panel of seven women and three men said that police had not done enough to gather and react to intelligence about the possibility of Mr Duggan collecting a gun from Hutchinson-Foster. But they found that the car had been stopped in a location and in a way that "minimised to the greatest extent possible recourse to lethal force".
Get a gun, paint yersel black, walk down the road waving said gun, when armed cops arrive throw the gun away and throw your arms in the air. That should do the trick.
Yep, two shots were fired (Probably a double tap) one of the rounds hit another Copper's radio. Hardly sounds like a carefully planned execution does it?
Getting back to the main subject here, the bit in Dredd when the guy's tripping and he sees the bad burd biting his banger off is kind of sexy and frightening at the same time. This must be what birds feel when they watch Jodie Foster on the pinball machine
Why's that Toby? Are you suggesting that they should have had "Proof" he had a gun before they treated him as a threat? Should they have just kept their weapons holstered and politely asked him to step out of the car, you know, take him on trust and hope for the best?
Guess who's back - backa again. Bib is back, tell a friend!!! That's why they call him Biccus Diccus! He's back, he's back (and has a big dick)
Sounds like they were jittery...hmm and imagining threats from an unarmed man Do cops take illegal drugs?
He threw his gun away. He came out without threatening them. The car was stopped somewhere where they had a good view of what was happening. They lied about him shooting at them. You don't shoot people that have given themselves up, that's just the rules
