Mark Duggan death: Armed police to wear video cameras...

Firearms officers are to wear video cameras in an attempt to be "more open" following the death of Mark Duggan, the Met Police Commissioner has said.

Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe admitted the force must "do more to build trust" after an inquest jury found the 29-year-old was lawfully killed.

Mr Duggan was shot dead by police in August 2011 in Tottenham, north London.

Sir Bernard will meet community leaders in Haringey to discuss how "confidence" in the Met can be improved.

The family of Mr Duggan reacted with anger after the jury concluded by a majority of eight to two that he was lawfully killed by officers.

Mr Duggan, whose death sparked protests that descended into rioting and looting across London and spread to other parts of England, was shot when police stopped a taxi he was travelling in. Full story...
