Have you not read what Gnostic Yevon and I said?

He was moving in and through locations under surveillance in connection with terrorism.
It was just after the July 21st bombs failed to go off.
He was wearing a heavy winter coat, in the middle of July.
Upon being told to stop, he ran - towards the tube station.

So if you're a police officer charged with stopping a repeat of something which happened just two weeks earlier, and you take this into account, are you going to think "Hm, it's ok, he's probably just afraid of us." or are you going to think "He's probably a suicide bomber, we can't afford to take chances."?

Because I know which I would rather the police charged with my protection thought.

I don't want innocent people to die, of course not. And I would insist that the proper investigative procedures be gone through following any case like this. But I cannot fault the officers for their actions on the ground.
