Why didn't you read the article properly?

Quote:
Prosecutors have already ruled there was insufficient evidence to charge any of the men who fired 11 bullets.

But the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) found no "realistic prospect" of proving beyond reasonable doubt that the armed officers did not act in self defence.

The CPS also considered charges of gross negligence and misconduct, and health and safety charges against those in charge of the operation.
It seems no charges will be laid.

In the UK if the police kill a man it automatically goes to the unit that investigated police corruption and law breaking. This case in at the inquest stage and the coroner will decide if the police officers can remain anonymous in an inquest into Mark Saunders death. No mention of charges.

Do you want to live in a country with less stringent rules on police and authorities?

Kent State Shootings I'm sure more recent cases are easy to find.
