That was the evidence provided and the decision of the coroner and the jury. Now if you don't want to believe or trust the IPCC, coroner or jury then that's your right. Fortunately we have law.
'He'd already thrown it away' and in the heat of the moment, how did the old-bill not know if he had another one up his sleeve or in his belt? I'm glad i'm unlikely to ever be in that position, but if I was I probably take no chances. If he'd never got involved in illegal firearms he may well still be alive. Just thank goodness he was never yours or my nextdoor neighbour.
