A piss poor apology

[London] Police have apologised for the “hurt” they caused to two brothers arrested on suspicion of terrorism - one of whom was shot during the raid on their home.

Both were released without being charged with anything. Police only apologized after the brothers said they wanted “an apology more than compensation.” Sue says this is a classic “non-apology apology”, as in, “I’m so sorry you are upset” and not “I apologize for shooting you.”
