It seems the person that the police shot 8 times in the head actually did nothing at all wrong.
Link He was not carrying any parcels/bags, he was not wearing bulky clothing, he did not vault over ticket barriers. The only thing he did was to run across the platform when he saw a train there about to depart. So, all those who claimed it was his own fault -- want to retract your claims???

If they had been racially profiling they would have realized that he's too pale to be an Arab and would have waited till the right guy came out.

Regardless, the whole event was a good thing. People understand the seriousness of their behavior and will avoid such events happening to them. Meanwhile, ACTUAL bombers should stick out like sore thumbs...

We went on the information we had. Every news organization on the planet was saying he was wearing a thick jacket and had run from police after leaving a suspected terrorist's house. Anything that we discussed here was based on what we were told by numerous credible news organizations. Why should we recant our claims? One point: I must question the credibility of ITV. Who the heck are they? Is that some Al Jizzera website? Until I see this report on mainstream news, I really must wonder how credible it is. |

The AR15.Com discussion was based on information presented by 3rd party news reports. Hardly credible enough to formulate the basis for killing people. The Waco incident was initiated on 1st hand information gathered by the Agents and govt officials. If I recall correctly, the ATF/FBI simply wanted to execute search warrants, and were met with non-compliance by Koresh's group. Things got out of hand, people made mistakes, which led to a fire that killed alot of people. |

I posted about this when it initially came out on several other forums I am on and was roundly hammered into shit over it.
My point was that if we are going to start shooting people for running away from the police, shit is going to get ugly real fast. Civillian LE is vastly different from the .mil and we have a completely different set of ROE. This was a bad shoot period. Whoever put the intel in the hands of the streetcops needs to be fired and spend a little time in prison. It's simply unacceptable to say "Oh well, bad luck...we'll do better next time." For all the non-cops on this site....let's say I yell at you to stop and I have bogus intel that you are a terrorist. All you see is a guy in civillian clothes guy pointing a gun at you and screaming. Your response? Mine would be to engage the threat. If I was unarmed, it would be to get the hell out of dodge. Unless I can clearly see credentials or uniforms, my initial reaction is going to be unpleasant. Sheep |

British national commercial news station… pretty shitty, It's news coverage is pretty weak. They provide the news coverage used on the ITV TV networks. ITV schedules consist of Soaps, games shows, reality shows and Jerry Springer type shows… sort of British 'Trailer Trash TV'. ANdy |

Maybe you need to understand the context of how these shootings happened. London cops until recently couldn't even pack. Now they are shooting young men who run from them. What happened in the same month that would elicit such an extreme response by the police? |

That's not an immediate threat. Some guy who plays with dolls tries to hijack a plane here in the states. A couple of days later, I run into another guy (you) playing with dolls. You fail to obey my command to stop, you flee and you jump a turnstyle. So...now I can shoot you? Your grasp of the law and use of force doctrine is questionable. Sheep |

4. Illegal immegrant, out stayed visa by over 12months 5. Illegally working without a work permit/visa. Explains why he was running from police. Not so innocent, just not guilty of terrorism. Stupidly running from police just days after the bombings. And the police do not have to shout "Stop! Armed Police!" in a suspected terrorist situation. Doing so to a suicide bomber would be asking for trouble. |

So is executing a search warrant on a house where you mix up the address number or get bogus intel from your CI. You make entry, suprise the shit out of the innocent occupants and end up shooting a law-abiding citizen. It's still a bad shoot. This is why it's important to VERIFY your intel. I've worked with all manner of CIs over the years and they will say just about anything you want them too if they think it will get them off the hook. This guy wasn't a bomber. He was just some mope who went a little bat shit when a bunch of armed dudes came running up on him. I'll say it again. Acting on bogus information doesn't make it right. Justifying the shooting by saying that the dead guy "shouldn't have run" is about the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Do you have any idea the number of in-progress shootings I have rolled up on where the shitbags scatter like roaches? I get to start shooting them as they run away, failing to obey my commands, right? Sheep |

Mine isn't. It's the reasonable belief that there is an imminent threat, such as he's runing onto THAT train and is going to blow it up. He's running because I told him to stop, he recognizes me, and is striving to go forward with his mission." There's no requirement in any use of force policy, statue, or case law that I've ever read that says the belief HAS TO PROVE TRUE to condone the shoot. |

You people who are claiming he "ran away from police", did you even read the article? It states that he did not run from the police nor did he jump the turnstile. He merely ran across the platform to catch the train. Police ran in after him, yelled something about "Police" and the guy stood up and approached them. The cops threw him down and started shooting. Now, I'm not claiming that this new information is any better or worse than previous reports, but it seems silly to not address the new information in any way in your posts.
EDIT: And let's just leave Waco out of this. There's strong opinions and emotions there, and its been debated to death. |

No. But the penalty for an expired visa should not be death. And, FYI, the cops didn't have his ID or even know his visa was expired until after the shoot, so your comments aren't even relevant here. —Dan |
