I read the wikipedia article on the shooting (which admittedly may contain errors)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Mark_Duggan

It does seem like it's going to be hard to know what actually happened at the incident.

The Guardian may have had a left/right bias here certainly, though it doesn't seem totally clear cut in this instance. It could as much be a case of "the reporting could have been more considered" rather than "deliberately misleading".

Was unarmed was misleading as found by the PCC, had no criminal record is provably false ( see Wikipedia link above ) and wasn't a gang member is contradicted by the subject's own Facebook page. It's fairly clear cut to me and I imagine many others.
