London Bombings

[which doctor]

So, the police shot a suspected suicide bomber several times in the london underground.

I heard a rumor from a friend and then later from a credible news source that this "bomber" had no evidence of explosives on him or anything. He did jump the turn style, was wearing a thick jacket and was arab so he got shot.

INTERESTING ISN'T IT!

here's a link to a news article about it.

Innocent Man Shot by London Popos (http://www.albawaba.com/en/news/186687)

It's strange that this hasn't gotten much publicity.

I've also eye-witness accounts where an asian man got shot several times. :unsure:

And a correction to my previous post: the man was not arab he was actually brazilian.

People are justifying the cops behavior because he was 'running away'. But the cops the cops pushed him on the floor and shot him five times in the head when they were already on top of him. That kindof mobster hitman type savagery has no excuse under any circumstances...but moreso the fact that the police officers who were chasing him were plain clothes uniniformed cops.

I'm not sure about everyone else but if three big aggressive guys who don't appear to be cops are chasing me i'd run away too. I think anyone with half a brain would.

But then, i guess since the cops just killed him in an cold blooded exicution when they caught him, running away was in fact a pretty good idea. Had they just been muggers (which is what he probably thought they were) he'd probably have had much more luck.

yeah the cops were plain clothed. I'd run away too

I'm sorry but I honestly think you are all being too harsh against the British Police Force. To be fair on them, they would not have a chased the man for no reason, the fact he was Brazillian rules out anti-Muslim intent and they would have shouted "Police". It is very neive to say that they "killed him in cold blood" becasue if he had been a terrorist many of you are the sort of people who would be complaining that the police hadn't done enough or something ridiculous like that.

Time to be realistic children. Not all police officers are rasist, right-wing bastards.

Since he's brazilian he might not of even spoken a word of english and he was shot 8 times. Seems a bit harsh
