Maybe the policeman who reported it had no idea that it potentially was a bullet that another policeman fired, and he was only reporting what he knew at that time to be the truth?

Yes, you're right
it could just be a completely innocent mistake on behalf of the police. Much like when they said that protesters had hurled bricks and bottles at them when they tried to save Ian Tomlinsons life.

Don't get grouchy at me, I'm only offering a different point of view mate.
We have only heard a few reports about the riots here. It made the news on sunday and that was it.

That doesn't mean they are lying now...
my personal experience of the police has never been anything but excellent, this goes for people I know who have called on their help as well. i therefore judge by these experiences rather than those that have been filtered through the press.

This.
I had nothing but excellent experiences with your police - certainly they were much better than the Aussie police are!
