A young Brazilian man, living and working in London as an electrician, emerged last night as the innocent victim shot dead by police in their hunt for the suicide bombers targeting the capital.

I read the portion of the article to which you refer, regarding procedure. Their behavior still did not conform to procedure. They attacked a man of whom they had no reason to be suspicious, and they already had him on the floor when they shot him in the neck and back.

And how do you know they weren't aiming at the head? The fact that he was hit in the neck certainly suggests they were aiming high and up that way.

Did you miss the witness accounts that said they had him on the floor? That is very close range. It's hard to believe that a trained police officer would miss when the gun was within inches of him.

I remain puzzled as to how they are supposed to implement a do-not-apprehend-but-rather-shoot-to-kill procedure without killing the person.

Perhaps you should set aside your determination to justify this, and instead look at the whole picture? You are looking at one small piece of it instead of the entire thing.

Something a little stronger than an implied claim that you have some kind of telepathy is obviously going to be required here if you wish to persuade on this point.

Yuor condescension and sarcasm make it pretty clear that youa re set on rationalizing their behavior even if such rationalization flies in the face of reality.

I'm speaking from experience, from having seen things like this before.
