And finally, Duggan was a passenger in a cab which was pulled over by the police.
Was he a suspected of something?
Why was the cab pulled over?
These are just a few questions that I would have asked before I started talking about whether or not the police were justified in shooting a man to death.
Just sayin'.....

He was the target of a police operation, apparently (according to wikipedia) he was a gang member and a drug dealer, he was also known to carry a gun. The police operation was planned in advance, it was not a simple stop and search. The police fired when they felt that he "endangered human life" which possibly meant that he either went for his gun or made a movement that looked like he was drawing a weapon. Like said above very few police have guns and are specially trained. they wouldn't have been there if it was a "normal" operation.
