the apology from police (which came a couple of weeks AFTER the shooting) said they were sorry they caused 'DISRUPTION AND INCONVENIENCE'.. DISRUPTION AND INCONVENIENCE? holy shite, is that what being shot is now called? an inconvenience?
'He looked at me and shot. As soon as he had eye contact, he shot me' · Brothers tell of moment officers raided their home· Police apology two weeks after Forest Gate alert

First he heard a scream. The next thing Mohammed Abdulkayar remembered was making eye contact in the darkness with the man who stood at the bottom of the stairs. At that instant, without warning and, he says, without provocation, the police officer fired a shot which tore through his chest and exited through his right shoulder. He slumped against the wall, bleeding and senseless.
Yesterday, three days after he was released without charge having been arrested and held for more than a week under the Terrorism Act, Mr Abdulkayar, 23, gave his account of the events which have devastated his family and plunged an already beleaguered Scotland Yard into even deeper crisis........
........Scotland Yard finally issued an apology for hurt caused by the raid yesterday. The Metropolitan police assistant commissioner Andy Hayman said the force had "listened intently" to the concerns of those affected.
"I am aware that in mounting this operation we have caused disruption and inconvenience to many residents in Newham and more importantly those that reside at 46 and 48 Lansdown Road," he said. "I apologise for the hurt that we may have caused.".........
