The guy who got shot 5 times by police had nothing to do with the bombings :S And they are 'sorry for the loss of life'

I wonder how long it will be before someone picks up on this and blows it all out of proportion.
At the end of the day the guy failed to comply with orders given an armed policeman. The rules of engagement would have been very strict, and for them to open fire the cop would have made sure he was in the right. Armed police go through extremly stringent training to make sure they can think fast in these circumstance`s.
I for one know for a fact that if a copper is aiming at me with a loaded fire arm i`ll do whatever he asks me to do so that i don`t get shot, then at least you get to live to prove they are wrong. By not complying they only think you have something to hide and have no option but to take action.
Agreed the loss of life is regretable, but you can be sure the cops did their jobs 100% right.

Two things to consider Buster:
1: We aren't under martial law yet
2: The police were plain clothed
I'm sure there will be more to this than we know at the moment, the guy might have been under surveillance or be connected to other shizzle. Who knows? definately not me.
But at the end of the day I don't think trying to run away from coppers if you are innocent is a five shots to the head punishable offense.
If that makes me a lefty twat then so be it.

Edited the first line, was a bit extreme.
The reason for the 5 times head shot would have been down to the fact thats the only way to stop someone dead in their tracks when they are suspected of haveing a bomb on them. Body shots would allow a split second to allow the would be bomber to detonate it before they died. A head shot is so quick to kill it takes away that chance.
But yeah, maybe 5 was probably a "bit" much, but at th eend of the day, dead is dead is dead, don`t matter how much lead he`s got in his grey stuf.

tbh villa i doubt anyone has infiltrated any terrorists cells.
if they had, woulda been able to do more to stop first attack, and also not likely they'd take in any new members is it...
seriously, watch 24, gives you all the terrorist knowhow you need.
+ time in the bay .

What Buster said exactly tbh ... shoot that fucker .. twice ! (or 5 times)
Running from armed police and then leaping over the tube barriers to get away .. he deserved what he got.
I'm happy there's a shoot to kill policy .. it makes me feel a lot safer and sends one hell of a fuck you message to any potential terrorists !
*peace* (unless you're going to bomb our country then you can fuck right off and die)

Running from armed police in a tube station in london atm = darwinism at it's finest.
