I think you'll find the answer means trigger happy is one of the least apt ways to describe the UK Police.
Maybe we should ask "In how many situations were weapons used where their usage was totally unnecessary?"

Weapons are supposed to be the last option not the first.

When mentally ill people, deaf people or drunken people are killed because they do not respond to police commands you have to ask what other methods did they try before the guns came out.

I suspect that the Police were looking for the quickest solution. Holding a mobile phone might carry a death sentence for suspects in such circumstances.
