Man down

A man was shot killed by armed police yesterday at Stockwell tube station. It was thought that he was involved in the bombings on Thursday, but it’s since turned out he was innocent. The guy (a Brazilian national) was followed from his home by plain clothes officers to the station. He was asked to stop but apparently panicked and fled to a train, where he was shot eight times. I don’t exactly know what happened at the station but I’m pretty scared about the shoot-to-kill policy adopted by the police, especially if more innocent people are killed. That said, you could argue that policies like this need to be implemented to prevent further innocent people dying at the hands of the terrorists.
