Hope he's injured. badly. Then leave him there so people can walk on him.

 

Thought of the day

 

Copied from BBC web site front page.......

"I saw an Asian guy run onto the train hotly pursued by three plain-clothes police officers.

"One of them was carrying a black handgun - it looked like an automatic - they pushed him to the floor, bundled on top of him and unloaded five shots into him.

"I saw the gun being fired five times into the guy - he's dead"

Well good on em I say, if that's the way to get rid of murderers then that's fine with me. Think of the money saved on keeping the ******* in prison.

 

RE: Copied from BBC web site front page.......

How do you arrest a suicide bomber?

If he can, he will detonate the bomb so the only option is a shoot to kill policy.

 

but the policeman maybe in prison though as they'll say

&quot;he had him down and could have arrested him&quot; because our justice system is ********

 

Agreed.

Whether certain people like it or not these times call for tough measures.

 

why have the police just bundled to the floor and shot a man dead who supposedly had lots of information about suicide bombings?

Not much use to the police dead is he?

 

He may have had some explosive device about his person which they assumed he'd detonate.

 

RE: but the policeman maybe in prison though as they'll say

Or he had him down but could still have detonated the bomb?

 

The concern of course

is that innocent people could get shot like this.

Perhaps if it's a case of the police asking somebody to stop and when they don't, then they shoot, then thats a differant matter.

However, if this guy did have explosives then no other way to deal with him

 

and shooting him with 5 bullets wouldn't have done? Or am I watching too many movies?

I dunno, seems to me the guy might have been on the run from yesterday. If you're trying to blow yourself up then running away from cops isn't exactly sticking with the grand plan. Better just to blow yourself up rather than running off. Maybe cops were being uber cautious but I'd have thought having jumped on top of him that shooting him would have been far less preferential to hancuffing him.

 

sounds like he was the guy

thats tried to explode a bomb on the Brixton line.

 

RE: The concern of course

There are some very hard decisions to be made and it calls for some courage in politics.

What a shame we lost David Blunkett, especially over something so irrelevant.

 

Quote "Not much use to the police dead is he? "

He's much more use to the British public dead though.
Hurray !!!!!!!
Well done the boys in blue !!!!!!!

 

Of course he could have just been carrying a table leg.

 

Well, fortunately neither you or me are in the position where we have to make a split second decision which may result in the death of another human being. We can pass judgement from here.

 

My God, you truly are an idiot.

 

Why?

 

And, thankfully, they seem to have made the right judgement.
Serves him right for wearing a bomber jacket.
