Blog entry paper 6

Summary:
A public inquiry has found that the man Azelle Rodney was killed unlawfully eight years ago by a MET police officer. Azelle was shot six times in London eight years ago when he was stopped over in his car by a MET police officer. The MET police officer believed Azelle picked up a gun, which is why he shot him. The MET police officer now faces criminal charges for the dead of Azelle. Azelle's mother wants an apology from the MET police officer who shot Azelle. The police commissioner says the MET police officer was wrong to shoot Azelle.

My opinion:
I think it was wrong to shoot the guy Azelle. I think it is stupid to just say that he picked up a gun, when there was no gun in sight. I think police officers are wrong a lot of the times when shooting someone, because these kinds of things happen quiet often these days. I feel like police officers these days just feel like they have the power and can just do whatever they want, which is totally wrong if you ask me. It is good that they investigate the crime to see who was really wrong of right.
