That's bulls**t, no harm. Why didn't he stop? Why did he run? If a completely innocent man suddenly has police shouting at him to freeze while pointing 9mm's at him he freezes, through fear and confusion if not obligation, I've seen it here & the Police aren't exactly the Northern Irish Catholic's best friends.

The full story isn't out yet so i'm reserving judgement while maintaining the police were right to do what they did, you can't take chances like that that could have potentially kill dozens. Overkill? Maybe, maybe not. I think the smug among you should reserve slapping your own backs until every detail is realised while remembering the position the Metropolitan Police and Anti-Terrorist Squad were/are in.
