The police are the authority here, they are here to protect us. We are bound by law to follow any reasonable, lawful request a policeman gives us. Like, say, if I jumped the ticket machine at a train station, and they told me to stop for example. They're doing their jobs, protecting us. The guy was an idiot and tried to run, therefore disobeying a law, and making himself a terrorist suspect. The officers in question were faced with a dialemma. Shoot the suspect, and have 1 casualty, or not shoot him, and, assuming he WAS a terrorist, give him an opportunity to detonate a bomb, killing tens, maybe hundreds of people. I ask you all, in that position, what would you do.

Supposedly, the guy didn't jump a ticket machine, and he was only running to catch the train. Seemingly innocent. And even if he wasn't innocent, they could've just taken the guy off of the train and evacuated the area.
By the way, does anyone know if any expolsives were found on the guys body? Any proof that he was a terrorist at all?
