The shooting of Mark Duggan

A witness to the killing of Mark Duggan has described it as an execution.  I do not know how accurate a description that might be, but I recall that witnesses to the killing of Jean Charles de Menezes gave testimonies which differed significantly from the police account.

Either we are to believe that lightning does occasionally strike twice, or we must accept that there are a lot of sadistic (and possibly even murderous) liars in the Metropolitan Police.

The death of Mark Duggan in 2011 led to the August riots which claimed the lives of five people.  It also resulted in 186 police officers being injured.
