Q9 The Killer

Q9 The Killer
Justice Watch Editorial Exclusive on Antony Grainger Inquiry. by dai dream

If a Police Officer would have committed 12 separate assaults on the public, leaving one member of the public with cuts to his back which required stiches, a ruptured spleen which then had to be removed you would think he would be sacked.

You would think that if a firearm police officer had used the butt of his gun to assault two members of the public by striking their heads, would result in him being demoted from using a firearm due to this miss use of that gun.

You would think someone who had received a complaint due to racist behavior would not be trusted to use a gun.

You wouldn't trust him to make up his own tactical plan for the operation without any discussion with other colleagues on his team especially when the plan went against GMP policy.

You for sure would not trust him to be in a team with Firearm Officers that had only weeks previously failed their firearm courses, one being removed from the course for the safety of other participants on that course but apparently the public was ok to be put at risk.

You for sure would not allow this team to be in procession of a banned weapon such as Hollow Tip Bullets which is banned in warfare according to the Hague Convention 1899

“(IV,3): Declaration concerning the Prohibition of the Use of Bullets which can Easily Expand or Change their Form inside the Human Body such as Bullets with a Hard Covering which does not Completely Cover the Core, or containing Indentations”

you wouldn't trust the same team who couldn't fill in log books correctly to use untested Chemical Weapons such as the CS Gas canister Grenades which was unauthorised by UK government at the time.

You wouldn't trust Q9 to write up a honest and truthful account of events several days after the event before he had conferred to other colleagues, legal advices and took advice from a Firearm Officer who murdered Mark Duggan.....not forgetting the “fact” flip chart he was provided.

You wouldn't trust anyone who was friends with the killer of Azelle Rodney and the Killer of Mark Duggan.

This an Officer who claims that he knows more then the assigned investigators on the operation, even arguing with X7 the operational firearms commander over this.

You would think there would be a solid defense for Q9 but from what we heard in court, there was no defense. Q9 had not seen a gun or anything that could have resembled a gun, he was not in any fear of Anthony Grainger so self defense is out of the question. He did not see any other person in the car or any firearm officer approaching the car before the shot he fired, so protecting his colleagues is also out of the question. He claims Anthony could have had a gun, he could have lowered his arm to get hold of a gun from his groin area and shoot through the front of the car passing through the engine or sideways through the drivers seat door or passenger door risking shooting a childhood friend of Anthonys. Not forgetting it would have been almost impossible to successfully aim and fire a bullet at a on coming Firearm Officer without the bullet ricochetting off the metal and fabric and passing through the car with the only area on the Firearm Officers body that would have been exposed would be his moving legs, since i'm assuming the Officers was wearing bullet proof vests.

Its clear that GMP think very different to us the members of the public, you would think sitting in a car park with friends would not result in an unprovoked murder. how can we trust the police when they employ people like this to carry guns

According to Q9 he would have done the same again
