Just watched this documentary on BBC 1 and it certainly opened up my mind. It just shows how certain elements of the media/organisations can distort facts.
This programme raised more questions than were actually answered into the shooting and killing of Mark Duggan.
What were your thoughts on this topic ?

The media in this country don't need facts they rely on assumptions which is not good .
hillsborough proved that.
Everyone makes mistakes especially if you face some one with a gun or you think they have a gun.
how far can you hit a golf shot when your adrenalin kicks in.
the real worry for me was that two officers claimed to have found the gun so one is lying.
the evidence was not good and lawful killing is in question.
 
Sorry but that program was a typical piece of left-wing anti-Police BBC propaganda. My foot nearly went through the TV a couple of times. The guy was a drug-dealing thug in spite of his family and friends making him out to be an absolute saint. He got exactly what he deserved.

So I'm sorry if this might offend some people on this forum but we are all entitled to our own opinions and this is mine.
 
An official inquest cleared the police of unlawful execution but still the family/friends/supporters want any number of other inquiries/hearings until they get the result they want. And the BBC were happy to give it to them. How about an inquiry into how Mark Duggan funded his house/car/lifestyle without ever having had any kind of paid employment?
 
Dont know if I have my wires crossed here, but was Mark Duggan shot by a police officer who had shot a few criminals in the past. Think there was a programme on about him a month or two ago.
 
Watched it today on catch- up.

I say well done to the copper, he acted how he saw it, what else could or should he have done.

The thug could have stayed sat in the cab or got out and went straight to floor, he saw the police and acted in a way that was only ever going to end one way.

London is a better place without the likes of him.
 
He was somebody's son for Christ's sake. I wonder how many of you could have pulled the trigger? Its done and can't be undone. How many wrongful deaths, whether by hanging or by like this are acceptable? And it is a wrongful death. Did he raise a gun? Did he point it at a Police officer?

So society is better off without him eh? Where do you draw the line? Society's acceptable behaviour is a moving feast, as painful as it can be at times. When does it become acceptable to have the number of deaths by cop a part of our civilised society aka the good ol' USA?

Without a doubt the guy was a scroat. But how many scroats have turned their lives around and are now decent contributors to society? What's to say that in 10 years time he couldn't have been running a youth centre...

The issue was the officer thought he had a gun and was probably right to open fire.
what happened after that was very odd the contradictory evidence , no cctv, two officers claimed they found the gun in the grass ( one is lying) the forensic scientist said " with his injury he could not have thrown the gun there."
open verdict would be right until one side proved otherwise.
as I don't think the evidence on the programme was good enough .
 
I wasn't there so I don't know.

I haven't been confronted by a man, who I thought was carrying a gun and might use it. So I don't know.

I've never met any of the folk involved, so I don't know.

I trust the BBC to do an object piece of programming. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Totally agree, this was my thinking when I originally posted 👍
