I can't believe you guys are so willing to give up your freedoms. Fear makes people do stupid things.

That's rich coming from an American.
Nobody is giving up freedom here, this is a priorty situation. When a plain clothes officer pulls out a weapon, a badge, and announces that he is a plain clothes officer and that you are to freeze, you're a dumbass not to do it, because by law they have to shoot to kill if you don't comply, especially in a priority situation. This guy chose to run when the police pulled their guns out and it left them no option. The British people look at this and say "well the guy ran and gave them a legally acceptable reason to shoot to kill, at least the police are doing their jobs by the book and properly sorting out this terrorist thing". Brits don't think like you yanks do... we don't see this as taking our freedom away, we see it as doing what is necessary... doing our bit for Blighty. We in the UK YIELD for the police and other services to let them get on with their goddamn job, rather than being subversive little shits and whinging and whining all the time about taking freedom away and about the cops doing what they have to do.
The guy was innocent of the crime they shot him for, but he still broke the law by jumping over the gates. Idiots don't live long, and this guy was an idiot. When there is a terrorist situation, you just don't do this kind of shit.
May I ask which freedom was taken away here? The freedom to run from the cops when they suspect you of being a terrorist?
