Hey guy, being an X -cop doesn't the fact the guy got shot 7 times in the Head sound weird. I find that very hard to believe. I think its sensationalizing, to denigrate the cops.7 times baloney. The only way I see that happening is if the cops were all standing at point blank range and plugging the guy for fun. Thats why I say BULLSHIT.

Actually he was shot 8 times in all. Seven times in the head, and once in the shoulder. Eleven shots were fired, but three missed. This isn't denigrating the cops, this is public record.

If you don't believe me, check out this link: BBC report on shooting

This is n't your article so it isn't you was questioning. Don't take it personally.

What are you talking about? I'm not taking anything personally. You said that you doubted that the victim had been shot 7 times. I provided an article from the BBC website that proved that he had (actually, it showed that he'd been shot an eighth time in the shoulder).

However, if your point is that I didn't write the article on the BBC's website, we'll you've got me there.

Yes, that was exactly my point. It is just hard to believe that's all. You made some good points yourself regarding the police policy on when to detain suspected terrorists.
Like you said, why not stop him before he gets in the tube?
I don't know?
