Man shot by armed police on Tube

BBC NEWS | UK | Man shot by armed police on Tube

What ever happened to those good old batons which the bobbies have used to keep the peace in London for the last couple centuries? What about a taser?

The only logical reason why it MIGHT be nessesary to shoot someone is if they WERE just about to blow themselves up. If you were being chased by police with guns and were planning on blowing yourself up, then it would be smart to do so before the police were on top of you (or even in range for that matter).

Mr Whitby, told BBC News: “I was sitting on the train reading my paper.

“I heard a load of noise, people saying, ‘Get out, get down’!

“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.”

Five gunshots in a tube car must be deafening. Now we just need to find out if the guy did anything other than be asian and 6.2 feet tall with a backpack.
