Molo - normal UK police are NOT armed and NEVER have been NOR will they be any time soon.
Only the SO19 team (uniformed with MP5's, these are the guys you see in all the pictures) and special forces have weapons.
It was undercover police that shot this guy, not the standard 'bobby' with a gun, they challenged him (ie identified themselves as police) and he ran... |

The execution was a mistake since the guy wasn't a terrorist.
The only terrorist they actually "neutralize" wasn't a terrorist. |

He ran because his visa had run out. Really deserved to die then. 
The police were totally at fault, which they have said themselves. They also placed no blame on the man. |

| Quoting Garner | | Wrong, if they're suspected of being a suicide bomber police are trained to shoot first ask questions later. The offical guidelines are headshots to avoid any explosives strapped the body of the person. |
7 times, haha, really.
[edit]
^ the fear on the trains in London is brilliantly displayed in this, Security guard checking for suspect packages, woman looking scared, took this when heading home one evening. (Moorgate, London) |

I know that the poor guy didn´t deserve to die in that way, but its kind
of stupid, aware of the tense situation because of the terrorist, how
can he run even with an invalid visa; of course the police are going to
shoot first n ask questions later... |

He could have presumed they were gang members or something, these police officers were unmarked, he could have been in some sort of trouble. |

The idea of suicide by police is disgusting. They killed an innocent man, they blamed themselves. Honestly why make excuses for it. |
