Did you even read the previous posts? We've already gone through all that. New information has been presented that contradicts previous claims. By the way, why do people keep giving detailed descriptions of what a police officer's job entails? Obviously they are their to protect the people! The question is: Did they go too far in this particular situation?

:

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.

Read the posts before your own.

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?

He was innocent. No explosives, and no disclosed evidence of anything to warrant a shooting.
They obviously had reasons for their suspicion, though.

One mistake. Meh. I think it's getting far too much publicity, and as for his parental units saying the Police in question should be jailed, they should stay out of it. Tossers.

Yes, it was bad. Boo-hoo. But get over it. If one civilian had to be killed every month in the hopes of stopping London being bombed again, i wouldn't mind.

Then again, my morals are quite questionable. Meh.
