[ARCHIVED THREAD] - No charges for table leg cops

Yesterday a court decided on no charges for the 2 officers who shot the guy carrying a table leg.

That's really screwed my liitle project I had planned.
the infamous fully auto cornish 'sawgun' and I was already with my variation too

So it seems that once again a couple of cops can shoot someone totally innocent claiming it was a 'life or death' decison that left them no time to think...

So why does that defence not hold water when a civvie tries it?

'cause there ~~amateurs~~ "professionals" who are the creme de la creme and can recognise a legitimate threat in a split second

One shot to the hand, one to the BACK of the head! How many shots were fired?

not much training by the sounds of it.
Stanley had just left hospital after colon surgery and could hardly walk, let alone lift a table leg. He must have pointed the table leg over his shoulder to get hit in the back of the head, either that or he was looking away in case the leg 'exploded' on firing.
He was a big threat, and the bizzies were in imminent danger!
