Yeah, I mean what nerve they have to shoot a suspected terrorist who left from a suspected terrorist hideout in the middle of the summer while wearing a trenchcoat and then goes into a subway where bombings has just recently happened and then runs from the police INTO the subway when he is told to stop. THE NERVE OF THOSE DARNED POLICE OFFICERS!




Would you please tell me in what way could he have figured out that those people were actually police officers ?
He ran AWAY from the people he believed were attacking him.
I do not consider yelling "Police" to be a credible form of identification in such situations (if we assume his English was good enough to understand...)

And if you're saying it's OK to shoot a SUSPECTED criminal in the head right away, well, that's just one thing we do not agree on.
