"It's a week before Christmas and this individual's [the officer] life has been thrown into disarray."

Unlike the guy he shot who is y'know, dead

What does the Police Federation expect, the IPCC to wait until after Christmas to investigate a killing.

To me it reads like the Police Federation is annoyed that the IPCC is actually doing an investigation this time. Homicide is absolutely the correct term here as it covers lawful and unlawful killing. Calling it lawful at this stage prejudices the investigation and if wrong the IPCC would look stupid. They appear to have finally learnt not to treat the people they are investigating as utterly truthful before they even start. Namely that last time:

the IPCC announced that in the immediate aftermath of the incident they may have given misleading information to journalists

Saying that it was lawful at this stage would have been misleading based on what they know.

The Fed is the union, their job is to look out for their member.

Sure, but they won't look out for their members very well by making insensitive comments.
