We know that ANOTHEOLDGIT used to be in the RAF but he may have been responsible only for ensuring they had enough pens for all we know...

He doesn't need to give his CV, as none of us do.
I don't feel any sorrow that this man was shot, although i admit 8 shots (including in the back- so facing away) sounds excessive. I don't think that him being unarmed is an excuse. If there is reason to suspect he is- his crimes involved weapons- you can't tell if someone is armed from a safe distance.
