Drug Dealer shot dead by Police

I'm sure you've all seen this one in the news over the last couple of days.

I did think it was related to terrorism when the initial news broke but obviously not.

So this was a pre-planned operation by undercover police so he must've been under surveillance for sometime. They follow him in the car, come off the motorway and then just shoot him dead in the car...

There's probably more to come out in the wash but doesn't seem to add up to me at this moment in time....

His pals in the car were charged with firearms offences then..

I wonder if they actually had guns with them at the time of the shooting...

Live by the sword.....
A non police issue fire arm was recovered from the vehicle involved after the incident

Cheers. I missed that bit first time round.

But did he actually have it on him and point it in the direction of the Police marksman who fired I wonder...

Probably never know the answer to that.

Sounds a bit like a documentary I was watching not so long back on Mark Duggan who also got shot dead by the police.

A pre-planned assassination according to the deceased chaps father:
