The Killing of Mark Duggan

Mark Duggan’s killing by police led to the most widespread social unrest in the UK in a generation. A decade on, what happened remains unclear: was Duggan holding a gun? How did the gun get to the grass?

Working alongside the Duggan family’s lawyers, we analysed the shooting in closer detail than ever, exposing critical weaknesses in the official accounts of his death.

This is seriously impressive and deserves way more views!

anyone else here from eleanor neale's video?

The amount of effort required to go into this level of detail is astrounding. Thank you for sharing this video

[Daud]

This is how these uploads all ought to be. No music. No frills and no fuss. Just raw reporting and recounting detail by detail. 🤙🏼

Having been a scottish firearms officer for many years, this doesn't factor in the intense stress the body is under to perform correctly. What can't be factored in is how intense stress causes 'forgetfulness' and 'tunnel vision'. I was fortunate not to be caught up in drama like this but even from a training point of view and the Kangaroo court exercise immediately after, its amazing to find out what you remembered and forgot, to what you saw or didn't see, things that are as clear to others, are not necessarily clear to everyone else. Even independent witnesses get it wrong. Excellent work has been done here to show some factual, some assumption and some suggestive actions on behalf of Duggan and the police. I would have hated to have had to pay for this forensic Analysis.

The dumbest thing you could do is go into your pockets, pull out and throw your weapon infront of armed police . No wonder he got shot

I like how they just casually bring up that the footage is spliced at 20:10
How did the original investigation just miss that???

[MiketheMadness]

I feel like using the entry and exit wound paths of the bullets is an erroneous method of figuring out how his body was angled: bullets often pass in unpredictable patterns through targets, especially smaller calibres like 9mm if they encounter clothes or bone.
Aside from that small point the huge amount of work here is impressive and intense.

You missed out the vital fact, Dugan was on his way to kill his own cousin for a drug deal gone wrong the week before

He was armed, they watched him pick the gun up from the armourer……the same armourer who is in prison for supplying the gun to him

These animations and conclusions, especially around the 10:00 mark remind me of the film/story "Sully". When loads of pilots managed to land a simulation perfectly, making Sully seem as if he made a deadly incorrect decision. But then Sully explained how a simulation doesn't take the human factor into account. The fear, panic, thinking time, the reaction delays and impulses etc.

When taking these things into account and trying best to "simulate" the human factor, no pilot was able to land and all crashed.

The courts ended up ruling in his favour :)

This is so incredibly detailed and well presented, it must have taken a very long time and effort. Great job!

Bro if you put your hands on a gun, let alone an illegal one, during a police stop, you get what youre asking for. What did you want the cops to do, wait and see what he does with the gun hes holding in his hand? The nerve on these people…

[thomascain]

The innocent victim story doesn’t wash with me. And Duggan was looking at 10 years in prison as it was possible to demonstrate that he was on his way to commit a crime. If the police had arrived too late to stop him he would have got life. He was a villain, doing villainous things which involved a loaded pistol and which the police knew he had in his possession. Should they have waited to shoot him until he had shot one or more of them?

His mother said he was a good lad. They always do.

[mannyislikethat]

If only 1 officer claims he saw him holding a gun, but the gun he was accused of buying earlier that day was 7 metres away, and had absolutely no DNA evidence on it directly connecting it to Duggan, a US court would've found the shooting unjustified because that raises reasonable doubt. And this whole situation is flawed to begin with since the officers don't even wear body cams. That's very questionable since now a court has to rely on an officer's word. And potentially one who's lying to save himself.

How does this channel only have 18k subs? This is my new favorite YouTube channel

What to take from this terrible youngsters death is…. Don’t play with guns. If he never went to East London, Leyton and acquired a gun he would not of been pursued by police, stopped and killed. That is the reality of it. Don’t get involved with guns they are used to kill simple.

[PEACEPISTONS]

Based on the evidence presented in the video, it is apparent that Duggan intentionally threw the weapon while exiting the vehicle, coinciding with the moment when the officer caught sight of the weapon. The ensuing chaos and disarray resulted in the officer's failure to observe the weapon being discarded, thus providing an explanation for their decision to open fire mere seconds later. Moreover, Duggan's concealed hand within his coat pocket further contributed to the overall confusion and heightened urgency, compelling the officers to react swiftly in response.

The amount of detailed analysis you go into is gob-smacking 😱 This deserves millions of views

[mookie]

This is superb work. You have changed my mind (or at least shaken my certainties) here.
