>You know this type of post gives no credence whatsoever to (a) the police and special forces that were involved and (b) the environment that they were operating in.

Aren't they supposed to be TRAINED to handle such situation in a professional maner without being so blatanly over the top and ruthless?

>Do you honestly think that they set out to purposely kill an innocent person?

I think the officer(s) who were involved were looking... that day.

>And if so dont you think they could have done such a deed in a more covert manner? ... have you even tried to consider the environment in which this happened, the tension and stress, the dangers, etc?

Good justification to just wrestle a defenseless man to the ground and shoot him eight times.

>Do you think that all the UK police and special service units are pychotic killers just sitting around waiting to use their weapons?

Did I say all of them were?

>Do you really think they just walked up to some guy reading a paper and shot him?

According to the latest report, yes.

>Yes it was bad, yes it was a mistake

Mistake? Trained police officers shooting a man eight times is a mistake?
Jailing a wrong person is a mistake. Stalking and shooting a man eight time isn't.

>and yes I am sure people will be held accountable.

Like they'll be suspended for about a month with pay and all will be forgotten?

>Do you know of any other countries where this type of incidents might occur.

No not recently. I've heard of people being thrown into jail. But that's a far cry from shooting someone. Yeah I know, it was a rhetorical question.

This is interesting. It's usually me who gives the cops the benefit-of-doubt. I think our roles has been reversed.
