Is that a real quote from a reputable source or just your spin on something else?The family ‘would now be taking a "step back" after some initial campaigning’.
The way that phrase is presented is given to make the reader think that the footage has made the family think twice. Perhaps it did, perhaps it didn't.
Let's not forget that he died from a single gunshot wound to the head - that is an execution.
AIUI a body shot is usually preferred - bigger target area so more likely to stop/incapacitate and thus neutralise any imminent threat. A head shot is risky unless at very close range. Plus it’s going to be pretty permanent, next to no prospect of recovery.Once the decision is made to eliminate a target, what exactly do you expect a SFO to do?

The law says that it must 'be absolutely necessary' and that police 'honestly believe' (which is the get out of jail free card) that the person is an imminent threat. I expect him not to shoot an unarmed person and certainly not in the head from close range with a number of police also present having just bumped his car to a halt.
No - first and foremost there must be an immediate threat and an honestly held belief. If the decision had already been made then the murder is premeditated as in de Menezes. The police, we are told, were responding to an automated call out triggered by a number plate. Kaba wasn't the registered owner of the car.
You’re completely missing the point. Just accept for a minute that the SFO was beyond reasonable doubt that the correct decision was to eliminate the threat, how should he then act in your view? Not swiftly and accurately?
No you're by passing the important breaks that the law contains
