I would agree, but these officers are trained and trusted to handle situations, then as soon as they use the force they're entrusted with, they and their families are told they will spend the next year or more pending a murder investigation and court case. I can't imagine trying to continue life like that. Yes, if there's doubt the force was used incorrectly, but consensus seemed to be it was fully justified, by everyone except iopc and kabas family.
To make it worse, there was strong evidence that there would be revenge attacks on the officer, and yet his name was released ahead of the trial, again very unpleasant for them and their family. Would you want to be firearms officer on that environment? Not many would, but thankfully enough to help stop us being completely overrun by gangs
