I posted something along similar lines in the Current Affairs board.
Let's face it Chief Inspector Duckenfield opened those gates which sent 2000 people in to an already packed pen which ultimately led to the death of 96 Liverpool fans.
If it hadn't have been for quick acting Liverpool fans on the pitch the death toll at Hillsborough would easily have been in the hundreds.
Him, and the officers who failed to act when people were being crushed to death less than 3 feet away from them should have had the book thrown at them 20 years ago.
They haven't yet, but they can live out the rest of the days safe in the knowledge that we will always be hunting them down in our clamour to finally get 'The Truth'.
Retired South Yorkshire coppers, coppers who now will be in their 40's and 50's or older, who 20 years ago let people die around them should be fully aware that we will never let them escape this.
I hope official documents are released soon. I want us all to know the name of every single policeman and woman at Hillsborough that day, and their role in either helping Liverpool fans survive or watching Liverpool fans die.
