| Pearse Jordan |
Controversial killing of IRA member is just now being brought to the judicial system.
In 1992 a supposed IRA member, Peirce Jordan was shot dead by a police officer right after a car crash. 20 years later, people are still unclear of what happened during the true events. Recentley a spike in dissagreement has occured and officials offer several different stories on what actually happened.
The shootings occured Belfast's Falls Road in Ireland. One report states that Jordan was running from the police in a stolen car when he crashed into another car. Jordan proceeded to bolt from the car as fast as he could when the pursuing officer shot him.Their were many other deaths that occored in a similar fassion, but this case was very diffinative. Many people believe that this was an act of unessecary measures brought on by the "shoot-to-kill" policy.
Evidence had been brought up that there were exactly three bulletwounds in the mans body, however the order of the shots was unknown. Some controversy has spread through the fact that the man may haven given up running but was still shot to death, and that the police officer tried to cover up the scene. The jury however, has not come to a decision whether this was a neccesary effort or a random act of uneeded violence.
