His 'Cremation' is to take place on Monday and is bound to resurrect feelings of antagonism toward the police force of Northumbria (and forces elsewhere) since there are many who are convinced that he was slain by a 'Taser' shot fired by the police and not by his own hand.
The authorities are well aware of the controversy surrounding the death of Moat and surely MUST realise that (in the event of the results NOT being favoured by the Moat family) the controversy will continue and possibly fuel the flames of suspicion which already point to a 'Cover Up' BY the police force.
Surely it would make more sense to prevent the cremation until AFTER the results are published ?, such prevention would ensure that there could later be no question about the circumstances of his death.
Raoul Moat committed heinous crimes and warrants no sympathy for his demise (although he might have been helped earlier with his mental and personal problems) BUT, the prospect of allowing the issues that could possibly be raised later the facility of bolstering any support for accusations of 'Cover Up', should be avoided at all costs.
It may even be that the Moat family are actually engineering a situation where such thoughts may take root.
Enough publicity has been given to the case of Raoul Moat, enough public money (excessive in fact) has been frittered away on it's account, enough 'Hype' about the 'Largest Manhunt in British History' etc and the police manpower that was expended in order to 'Protect' us all.
I think the authorities should have the capacity to see what MAY be coming in a week or two (it may not happen but) strange that such lack of foresight is hardly noted by the 'Asses' that determine such events as these when dealing with other matters of public order.
Or is it a welcome relief to them that only an 'Urn of Ashes' will bear testimony to what really took place that fateful day.
