In an inquest into the death of Oladeji Omishore, a police officer testified that he initially perceived a potential terror threat. Responding to reports of a man appearing distressed and potentially armed, the officer used a Taser on Omishore five times, believing he posed a risk to the public. However, it was later revealed that Omishore carried a non-threatening firelighter. This incident, occurring on the anniversary of prior attacks, raised questions about threat perception and police response in such scenarios.
"I remember seeing something shiny in his hand. I couldn't see any more. He's waving it around and he's shouting."
"The last terror attacks happened on bridges, and it was also the Jubilee weekend."
