London Suspect Shooting
meetings today are being held between the british and brazilian foreign ministers for a further investigation into the shooting of this apparently innocent man. the suspect was brazilian, 27 years old. on the day in question, he had emerged from a house that was under surveilance after the recent bombing attacks in london and caught a bus to stockweell bus station. here he was stopped by police officers, he bolted down an escalator and tried to board a train, whereupon he was shot five times in the head by one of the police officers.
does anyone else agree this is wrong? i mean, first of all, that guy could have been innocent (which he apparently is), but he was shot simply because he looked suspicious. secondly, if he was a suspect, would it not have been best to interrogate him in order to attempt to obtain further information?

i can't tell you how angery i was and still am when i read that piece of news in the paper! the poor man was cornered "like a rabbit" (quoting the paper) and they didn't even have the decency to check if he had any bombs on chest before putting 5 shots thru his head?? it's illogical, inhumane, cold-blooded murder!
if i were that man's family, i'd be so angry and sad that i'd have shot tony blair for the statement he gave later on as well.
