I'm not sure what has been covered up. The independent video confirms that he shouted put it down. Since the whole thing turned on whether the officer thought Duggan had a gun, the words put it down confirms that he obviously did. I have no particular time for the police myself. Some obviously do put in a decent, honest days work but they are let down by too many others that think they are some kind of paramilitary secret service. And it does really do my head in how they have endless resources to chase motorists with super expensive cars and helicopters but when you phone up to report a crime they can't even be arsed to come round and take a statement. In my view the police force has lost sight of its role of defending the public and solving crime and is now just an agent of the state collecting fines and taxes on its behalf. But I really can't see how the Duggan shooting was any kind of conspiracy. Incompetence or inexperience maybe, but I don't see the conspiracy.
