More name-calling from Dino. Not a surprise.

Failure. It wasn't an anti-American slur. What you were so blindly accusing Britain of, is what America is guilty of.
|
I never accused Britain of anything. My comments were obviously directed at those in this thread, the people who don't question such actions. Where I live has no relavance to this discussion. I'm not going to group you up with all of Britain, it's just plain silly. A location is a location, it doesn't mean the inhabitants have the same ideas.

Look for it yourself you misinformed lazy infidel.

Funny. I already looked, every article has been fairly vague on the actual details of the event. It sounds to me that you, yourself have not read of such an event taking place, but are merely assuming. If you know it to be fact, present the article. It would definately strengthen your claims. I'm not at all saying this detail does not exist, but many reports do have it absent.

Then you read a faulty, biased document.
|
Yeah, that must be it.

And you're an American, so you have abosolutely no authority to tell me that I don't know exactly how these events played out. YOU are the one who doesn't know how this played out, not me.
|
Neither of us do, that's the point. Were you there? No? That's what I thought. Just because you happen to live closer to the events then I do is negligible.

Yeah "fight the power" you ignorant little shit. WRONG. The LAW which everyone in England KNOWS states that if you run from a policeman who has reason to believe that you might be dangerous, you can be shot. Therefore you never run from a policeman.
|
You really have a way with words. There's no doubting that plainclothes officers cause a miscommunication when they confront a suspect. A lot of innocent people have died because of it.

These police announced that they were police, and that they wanted this person to freeze. He ignored them and continued, attempting to board a train. It's his fault for being an idiot, not the police for doing their jobs properly.
|
You could also call the officers who shot him in the torso, idiots. If they believed he was strapped with explosives under that heavy jacket, it's probably not a good idea to shoot the damn thing. A shot or two to the head would have gotten the job done fine.

It doesn't matter what you're suspected of. Everyone in the UK knows about plain clothes police, everyone in the UK knows about the London bombings, and everyone in the UK knows about the laws about doing what the police tell you to do, and what happens if you don't comply. There's no excuse for it, yet he still ran. He was an idiot.
|
For all this man knew, they could have been the terrorists. We don't know what the man was thinking, humans have a tendancy to run when they're afraid. Not everyone is as cool and collected as yourself.

Shut up, you clearly know nothing of our rights or what we should be protected from. These plain clothes police are the people who protect us from terrorists, and they do an amazing job. Why should there be "rights" that make it legal for a terrorist to run away from a policeman without getting shot? That's just politically correct bullshit and all it would do is kill hundreds of people rather than save the life of a few morons who decide to run rather than comply.
|
I'm sure they are doing a great job for the most part, but when innocent civilians are killed because of a hunch, there's a problem. If these were uniformed officers, it would be very stupid for him to run, but as I said the lack there of, causes confusion. It's not difficult to believe that someone would react the way he did.

You know it's actually illegal to not comply with a policeman? So the guy had already done something stupid just by running. Why should these idiots be defended? They're just criminals anyway, he probably ran because he was guilty of some other crime and thought the police wanted to bust him for it. So it's one less person in jail, one less person soaking up taxpayer's money in police custody.

More speculation, you're on a role.
These flame wars are becoming awefully redundant. This forum used to be such a nice place.
