They are tested for emotional stability when they do firearms training and all this was is remorse, a natural emotion.
Having said that, making the Met guilty of only a breach of "health and safety" regulations is an obscene and disgusting insult to the family of the shot man and a signifier that the police can shoot who they want and only get a slap on the wrist.
When it comes to firearms, the police are above the law.

These policemen have been under constant pressure from the minute they were told to persue the target.
I'm sure this show of emotion was just a result of the many sleepless nights and torturing self examination that the officer has been through since the event took place.
I seem to remember at the time that the public were baying for blood in the advent of the recent terrorism.

He's been brain-washed. He believes he and his comrades have done a good job.
It's just a pity they shot an innocent man.
There was a similar case in Ireland a few years ago. A farmer found a cache of weapons and reported it to the police. Unfortunately, his son came across the same guns and took one out to have a look at it. Meanwhile a squad of SAS soldiers had moved into position. The boy, aged 15,. was shot dead.
After they were acquitted their CO said they had done a good job in the circumstances.
Sal*UK mentions a rucksack. Did Jean Charles have one?

I don't imagine he is proud of killing an innocent man at all - he thought CM was a terrorist and acted accordingly. His tears are probably due to the fact that he DID unwittingly kill an innocent man, although he believed otherwise at the time.
Would you be asking this question if Mr M HAD had a bomb in that rucksack and had detonated it, killing hundreds???
Mccormack: I'm not certain on that point to be honest! At the time, news reports claimed he 'vaulted' the barriers to the station - this has since been proven totally incorrect, so maybe the rucksack is the same?

I think you should read what he said more closely,then with a bit of luck, your brain might absorb what sort of pressure these people have to work under.And if it has still got to be explained to people like you, we might as well all surrender to the PC brigade.
