From the article:  "they pushed him to the floor, bundled on top of him and unloaded five shots into him."

Those weren't police officers.

They were SAS or something similar.

Sending the SAS out to arrest people again?

People have forgotten how downright nasty the Brits are.
This is what a terror bombing campaign in London acheives, the public will turn a blind eye now when the Govt unleashes their more capable operators, a few weeks ago, they would'nt have.

You can bet your last dollar the CO of the SAS has a list of people he has been trying to get permission to 'go after' for years, due to public outcry about a rather public hit on some terrorists in Gibraltar ( Thanks Dowding, yep thats what I meant) and the frequent claims that SAS teams in Ireland were nothing more than government hit squads, that permission was probably hard to get.
I think recent events have drasticly changed that situation and that a free reign will be the more normal situation for a while.
The names list probably just got a lot bigger too.

Maybe not SAS, but intelligence services of some kind.

Bluedog - you mean Gibraltar and the execution of the IRA bombers.

Just saw a couple reports on TV. They were part of a new "armed response unit" similar to a SWAT team. He was probably trying to pull the trigger on the bomb and they killed him to save civilian lives on the train.It would have been nice to take him alive, but if he was going to blow up the bomb, it was a good call.

They also said the guy was Pakistani. Supposedly, Pakistanis are sometimes called Asians in the UK. Is this true brits?

"Asians" usually refers to Indians/Pakistanis/Sri Lankans etc, rather than it's US usage which seems to refer to Japanese/Koreans/Vietnamese etc.

This could all be outta line, not enuff public yet to be sure; BUT:

This appears to be some mighty good pro-active police work.

Gent's I imagine the Bobbies are on hair triggers. The guy was being pursued, he appears to have a bomb.

Time to do what's gotta be done.

Seems to me the guys dogpiling on the suspect are hero's.

I believe it is now law in the UK that allows security forces to shoot terrorist suspects in the commission of a terrorist act threatening life.

This differs from the normal circumstances under which life is taken due to immediate threat or act endangering life.  The above law does not have the same constraints as previous statute and common law, nor does it require an immediate threat.

by the end of the week, some loser will be crying how the cops over reacted

I am all for it but do not think such actions would fly in the states without some hot-shot lawyer, aclu type crying foul in front of every tv camera he could find and the left screaming for the head of bush

wtg Brits! pop a couple more asap ... hope you can keep it up
