Hopefully the final court case about Steven Wallace

The Court of Appeal has ruled the following in relation to the shooting of Steven Wallace by Constable Abbott:

  • The use of lethal force was justified
  • Constable Abbott acted in self-defence
  • It was reasonable to use a firearm in self-defence
  • It was reasonable to fire four shots

It’s been 22 years since the shooting and the reality remains the same. If you don’t want to be shot by the Police, don’t advance on them with a baseball bat.
