azelle rodney inquest/inqury, police brutality/overkill?

i was reading about this, don't have too much detail apart from the fact the guy was a drug dealer crack cocaine I think, and also dealt in firearms,

anyway he was shot 6 times, a video was released but not one officer shouted "hands up" or "don't move", they said he was reaching for a weapon however it was later found out this was complete bull****, (bearing in mind there were weapons in the car).

im not saying azelle was a good guy, but the discussion here is with regards to police brutality, not being given a chance? I would have been happier if the guy was in jail, not shot dead without even having a chance to put his hands up or surrender and admit his crimes,

anyone feel the same way? is it the law? are we in a police state? are we more and more like a middle eastern state covered up by "democracy" ?

Killing is horrible at any time but he chose his path-three firearms were recovered in that car and they were on there way to carry out violence to someone-sorry for his family but not him-if you reach for a weapon when an armed cop is there you know your gonna get shot-its real life not the movies and the cops need to act in a split second-sad but he knew the risks-coppers justified imoa.

If you read the reports they was following then for 3 days under surveillance. The flat was used for producing crack. And they were armed.

I'm no fan of the police but if it was me in that position and I thought I was just about to get shot I'd shoot first.
Rather than ask nicely to put your hands up.

its a difficult one. put urself in the cops place for a sec

guns were in the car, guys a known weapons dealer and is likely strapped. if at any point i felt someone was gonna draw a gun id have to shoot first and deal with the consequences later. im not risking being killed myself
