Pfft. Apparently there's a limit to the length of a comment. Here's a postscript to the previous:

I don't see anything to suggest that the officers were acting out of anything other than a desire to prevent another suicide bombing, and that's different in intent from a revenge killing. Note that I am not saying that because the intent may genuinely have been public protection that there are therefore no grounds for criticism. One could well argue that they were unacceptably stupid, misguided, displayed poor judgment, got carried away by their fears and weren't objectively evaluating the evidence, should have known better where to draw the lines on when to act on suspicion, were unwittingly influenced by the ethnicity of the victim, etc. etc. etc.
