In contrast to the prevailing opinion of serving police officers, Bob supports the Independent Office for Police Conduct's investigation into Sgt Martyn Blake.
The armed police officer was cleared of murdering violent gangster Chris Kaba in south London last year - but will still face a gross misconduct hearing.
Sgt Blake was cleared of murder at the Old Bailey after just three hours and was immediately reinstated by the Metropolitan Police.
The IOPC said in a statement: “At the end of our investigation into the fatal shooting of Chris Kaba, we determined there was sufficient evidence to indicate he may have breached the police professional standards regarding his use of force and therefore had a case to answer for gross misconduct."
