The Lords' Will

The family of a man who was shot dead by Sussex Police while naked and unarmed can sue the force for unlawful killing, Law Lords have ruled.

"Law Lords"? Good grief.

But at least the family gets a consolation prize.

I note the "Only One" who panicked and murdered an unarmed man escaped prosecution and incarceration.

The Lords' will, no doubt.

Happened here too. The robbery squad of 8 officers went to interview a suspect at 7:30 in the morning when he was getting ready for work. He pulled on some pants and came out on the porch shirtless with his toothbrush in his mouth. His pants started to fall, and when he reached to catch them, the LEADER of the squad felt threatened and shot him dead. He still has a job. The city said "unfortunate things happen because of the proliferation of guns." The family got a small settlement also.

I assume they meant the proliferation of guns in the hands of panicky cowards in police uniforms?

Sounds more like a "proliferation of goons" problem.
Hmmm. I think I could get behind "goon control". How about you?

My best guess is that the officer was in fear of an assault penis. I believe penises of all kinds are now outlawed in Britain. Testicles have been banned for decades there.

Standard way for the "Only Ones" to get away with murder. "I was in fear for my life and fired my weapon in self defense." This only works if you are an "Only One", do not try this at home.
