What did the police say in the aftermath of the shooting?
The Met police commissioner, Sir Ian Blair, told a press conference that the dead man “was challenged and refused to obey police instructions”, while Scotland Yard said his “clothing and behaviour at the station added to their suspicions”.
These claims were all later found to be false. Blair admitted the force had made a “serious mistake” in the immediate aftermath of the shooting.

All shoot-to-kill law does is enable authorities to execute any member of the public with impunity by removing any responsibility for the action. This bloke was on his way to work and got shot dead for it.
