A plain clothes policeman fired five shots into a man on the Tube. Can't seem to find any other info.

From what I can make out from the story, said man has been blasted to shit for having seme wires visible on his belt and running away when three guys came running after him waving guns.

The world is in a downwards spiral.

Sad indeed that the world is coming down to this.

He was a suspect and they have been following him for hours. He did not have a bomb on him but the team shadowing him were instructed to fire if he posed any danger. He had a baggy jacket on and the "shadowers" suspected another bombing. The man was able to get on a train when the chasers tackled him, they shot his punk-ass on the spot.
Good riddance.

So they leave him be for several hours during which he, presumably, could have blown up if he'd had a bomb on him. When they finally take him down, having waited until he was in a crowded place, they also take him out. There's a good reason the founding fathers put 'due process' in place.

We all need protection but something here is a bit crazy. I'll be happier when more news comes in.

I read an article which said that the police told the man to stop but he kept on walking and they opened fired.

They actually had him tackled on the floor of the train and there was a struggle. Then a bullet was put in his head.

I predict riots in several Northern cities over the next week. Maybe in London too.

I'd like to add to this that I am just some nobody sitting shit-scared at home looking at past experience. I am in no way connected to any organization likely to invoke riots.

Hmm that is weird to get two different stories. Media...
