    I still find it unlikely that the guy dropped the gun first and was then shot. Probably just typical bollocks news reporting - how would they know anyway?
    reliable source (geoexpat)??

    Why not go to the original source?

    What they need to do is give all these kids a phone with various addictive touch screen games so they can instead become zombies.

    Yes it'll be slightly annoying when they bump into you on the street or don't hold open a door but you can just console yourself with the relief that they didn't set you on fire.

    I feel sorry for the kids. Everyone is always complaining that the youth of today are lazy, just sitting at home playing computer games, taking drugs, the girls getting pregnant. So eventually they get off their arses and do something active and then they get criticised for that. They can't win can they? They are just responding to the government advice to get 30 minutes of exercise a day.

    Two police shots were fired. Duggan was hit twice, once in the chest and once in the bicep. The bullet in the police radio was a police bullet. So does that mean one of the bullets went straight through Duggan and into the radio? If he was sitting in the car (was he?) then how does that work?

    Let me confess... I wasn't being 100% serious when I said geoexpat was a reliable source.

    Thanks for the link. It doesn't say whether the guy had the gun in his hand at the time he was shot though, which is what I was referring to.

    Let's see... the police investigating the police...

    It's a bit like asking a tobacco manufacturers whether tobacco causes cancer, or gun dealers whether guns kill people, or owners of coal power plants whether CO2 causes global warming, or ...

    You get the picture...
