    This is just getting crazy.

    I was supposed to be going to London tommorow to visit an old friend i havent seen for 6 years but thats been cancelled now. I hope this spurs our government to take more action at the roots of terrorism and islamic extremists, like stopping the anti British/US imams preaching at Mosques around our country. If they dont like us, get out and stay out.

    Blimey, he'd better be a terrorist or the witness had better be mistaken, or the proverbial is going to hit the fan and no mistake. Five shots into a prone suspect?

    At the risk of politicising this thread - we spent years and years claiming we didn't have a shoot to kill policy in Morthern ireland. Didn't take long for that to change.

    There must have been a reason for killing the suspect. Surely he would have been much more use to the police investigation alive rather than dead. Perhaps he possesed a weapon himself such as a gun or an explosive.

    I think we should wait for more information on the circumstances before we start apporting blame or constructing scenarios for what should have happened. I suspect there is more to this case than meets the eye.
