From the evidence reported in the media here it sounds like a ridiculous decision, deciding that he was killed lawfully but also concluding that he was not in possession of a gun. At the very least it's a serious error made by the police, and if you go by the witness who claims he was surrendering with a phone in his hand, at worst it sounds like an execution. I hope the truth is the former, but after Ian Tomlinson I don't think I'm alone in doubting whether police will ever be properly tried.
I'm by no means an ACAB type either, but I can really understand public outrage about this and the feelings of injustice.
