MS PATEL
Would your members not then have, at least, mentioned that this was a busy area, that there were lots of people in the street or that there were some people walking in the street?  If one looks at the evidence, Mr Bellingan, the only people that are referred to at the scene are the few Black men who they saw were suspicious looking.  No one else is mentioned, because, also, if one takes that further, there is no question ever, besides the bus that arrived at the scene, in which, which Mr Benting was driving, one takes that further, there is no mention made that there were civilians in the scene and that your men needed to be cautious in protecting the people who were there.  Surely, that would have been raised.
