If the verdict had gone against the police, it surely would ask the question as to why anybody would want to join the police and have a career in the force? I appreciate that at times they don't always crown themselves in glory, but when they are putting their lives on the line daily (especially this day and age) and are constantly challenged about their actions in dealing with different situations you then appreciate that the job isn't just physical, but a mental battle too. To me, it just seems that the police are constantly made accountable for their actions at the mere drop of a hat, is that because they are the easiest option? When in most cases they are simply trying to do the job to the best of their ability. It appears deliberate barriers are put up in front of them to make their job even tougher, it must be so frustrating for them to enjoy what they are doing and equally gain self-satisfaction that they are making a difference.

The day we have police who aren't accountable for their actions, whatever those actions are is the day we move one step closer to being, ironically enough, the sort of world that the terrorists they stopped at Westminster would like it to be.

Not for every little incident though, every in-take of breath seems like it's monitored! I appreciate that an inquest is needed if something has been done incorrectly or against procedures after all the police are there to uphold the law, but sometimes these inquests take an eternity to get to this stage. Naturally, this impacts on the those police members involved, who maybe innocent, which is just plain wrong.
The length of time for the London Bridge verdict was just ridiculous, they're rampaging through streets of the capital killing or injuring innocent bystanders. How did they expect the Met Police to react, encourage the terrorists to sit down for an impromptu counselling session? As the OP pointed out 3.5 hours for that verdict? Just madness! They did their job clinically that night and did it well. If they hadn't, many more innocent lives would've been lost. [Post edited 16 Jul 2019 21:19]

Indeed. I have no issue with their being an inquest (and would have an issue if there hadn't been).
I do wonder why it took over 3 hours to come to a verdict. Probably good reason, though. |  |

Which 'little incidents' should the police(or indeed any body or profession with a responsibility to the public) NOT be scrutinised over? [Post edited 16 Jul 2019 21:07]

There was a jury, who have to present their findings of fact. You only have to have a meeting on anything with another eleven people to realise what a world of pain that will mean. |  |

You're dead right, and being mates with a few people in the Met they are extremely pleased that they are getting to wear body cameras which do hold them accountable, but also give them some protection. |  |
