Panayiotis Petrou & Mark Duggan

Police would not help Panayiotis Petrou when he fell in the Grand Union canal in April apparently out of his head on ketamine. None of them had had appropriate training so they wouldn't risk it. One might ask why they had not had the training and if they are likely to get it. I won't say much. I don't know how brave I am but then I am not on a police pension. It occurs to me that it seems extremely unlikely that anyone trained anyone to shoot Mark Duggan in August 2011, but it was managed. Did someone turn the world upside down?
