My final point was that if Duggan had not even removed the gun from its box, why did certain police evidence claim he had the gun in hand? Secondly, who threw the gun (out of its box, but still in the sock) over the fence? It strongly suggests someone other than Duggan removed it from the box and placed it elsewhere at the scene.
I'm not passing judgement here on the guy who fired the shot. I have no idea (thankfully) what it must be like to be in such a situation, and I never wish to find out. My natural inclination is, indeed, to have far more sympathy for that individual than, say, the officer responsible for the death of Ian Tomlinson.
My concern is that the police do themselves (as a body) no favours by having a history of what I consider to be misinformation and deceit as they double down to protect their own.
Thanks for the reasoned debate
