It's only slander if it's untrue.

Well, sue me then; but before you do so, consider the [already
well-rehearsed here] example of J-C de Menezes, and about another
twenty recent cases.
As I said above, I don't disagree in general with your point, but
to harp on as if the UK police are somehow always a priori entirely
innocent on such situations is both blinkered and somehow wildly
optimistic.

Well, I wouldn't have put about 20 ill-aimed bullets into a tube

If you don't read the press, it's hardly my fault.
I really don't see any further point in continuing this spat- I've
repeatedly stated here that in general I support the police- they
are, after all, poorly-paid and somewhat undervalued people who
are basically our only defence against total anarchy.

But neither am I blind to their faults.
