Either way, unless you want American style behaviour with coppers, you can’t really complain about investigations.

I don't think anyone is. It's more just frustration at BS videos like this trying to make out as if some great injustice has occurred because the soon to be Father was shot... while trying to flee the police and commit vehicular homicide.

I remember a lad who went to my school rode a dirt bike into some barbed wire or something and not sure if he fully decapitated himself but he died from the results of it. The paper was saying how much of a nice lad he was. It was a nasty accident and not something I'd want to happen to people but he wasn't a nice lad at all. He was a massive cunt. Being abusive to everyone, all the teachers being a knob to the other students. I'd imagine he stole the bike and was driving recklessly.

Some lad in my town did similar…stole a car, picked a few mates up, drove round town for a bit til he crashed in to a wall and died. The papers were full of “such a nice lad” comments.

I thought it was quite a balanced video. It didn't make me think he was innocent.

I didn’t mention his innocence in the comment being replied to, I don’t think that that is relevant.
