To say "shot in the stomach" in an official context, is specific. It doesn't mean "shot somewhere below his rib cage".
That man clearly has not been shot in the stomach when the photo was taken.
Idk if i'll be convinced of.authenticity by a mirror report unless it contained court transcripts. Same for any paper/outlet tbh no?
Is it transcripted.as " shot in the stomach"?
I know i am being a bit of a pain but my interest is piqued now

There are two basic orthodoxies when it comes to armed response.
Options:
1, Counter Terrorist agencies: Weapon present or suspected - Shoot to kill: Double tap to the head.
2. Armed Police (Domestic situation): Weapon present or suspected - Secure an outer cordon to protect the publi (unarmed officers)c. Inner cordon (armed police) to contain the shooter. Negotiation and observation (talk down the shooter)
Potential breach of inner cordon or threat to life - Double tap to main body (Trunk).
Option 1. requires specific and very controlled Home Office procedure and authorisation. The police relinquish control of the scene on orders from the Home secretary or their representative - to another agency. Once the operation has concluded - within minutes usually - the Home secretary or their representative are handed back control from the involved agency and the crime scene is then handed over to the police.
If you look at the Lee Rigby situation non of the options were attempted in any meaningful sense. Which either points to gross negligence by the parties involved or some sort of third world diversity appeasement exercise.
Twas all bollocks and if this was a genuine event heads should have rolled for such an appalling performance.
