No, not to you particularly, SQ, but I've been hearing on the news some self-appointed 'community leader' type person, saying that he led the march on the police station, was promised a meeting with the senior bod there, and when it didn't materialise in what he felt was an acceptable time frame (or it did, but they didn't get the answers they wanted, not quite sure which - it's all a bit woolly at the moment) he said something along the lines of 'well, we won't be responsible for what happens next then, don't say you weren't warned.' That's not verbatim, but the general gist is there. I can't find it on the net though.
But this is there:
**But community leaders had warned of tensions following Duggan's death. Nims Obunge, a street pastor who was with the Duggan family at the police station protest, said the family and the community needed answers.
"I was here [at the police station] for five hours before this incident kicked off. Someone died on Thursday, a man was shot in our community and the community cried out for justice," he said.
The IPCC, which took over the investigation after the shooting, said it had been in contact with the family. Scotland Yard sources said they were not allowed to communicate with the family because the inquiry was being handled by the IPCC.**
I think the police clearly said as much as they were allowed to, under the circumstances. It may not have been what the family wanted to here - but what would be?
The community is 'crying out for justice'. So the assumption iin the 'community' is that the police were in the wrong. How many of those people would have bothered to turn out to a peaceful protest march against the shooting of a police officer, had that bullet (allegedly fired by duggan) not lodge in a police radio?
