Cops cannot even shoot back when being fired upon without fear of prosecution!
Jesus, the guy was shooting out of his window in a heavily populated area, the cops blew him away and serious consideration was given to prosecuting the cops! WTF?

"Police marksmen await inquest anonymity decision
Mark Saunders Mark Saunders was shot dead in a siege in May 2008
Seven police marksmen who shot and killed a 32-year-old barrister will hear later if they will remain anonymous in an inquest into his death in a siege at his London home.
Family law specialist Mark Saunders was hit at least five times to end the five-hour siege in May 2008.
Prosecutors have already ruled there was insufficient evidence to charge any of the men who fired 11 bullets.
The lawyer's family have criticised police conduct during the incident.
They maintained Saunders, who had been drinking heavily before he started firing from a window of his Chelsea home, posed no real risk to the public and should have been taken alive.
But the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) found no "realistic prospect" of proving beyond reasonable doubt that the armed officers did not act in self defence.
The CPS also considered charges of gross negligence and misconduct, and health and safety charges against those in charge of the operation.
Former Met commander Ali Dizaei who is serving a four year jail term for perverting the course of justice in an unrelated case, was in overall charge of the operation.
It is thought the hearing will examine his command of the siege and that he will be called on to give evidence.
A preliminary hearing will take place later but the full inquest is due to resume at Westminster Coroner's Court on 20 September."
Sure'n the fuck glad I don't live there! I mean that the cops cannot even protect the public without fear of going to jail for having exercised their lawful duty!
Fuck!
Sally.
