Mr Whitby, told BBC News: "I saw an Asian guy run onto the train hotly pursued by three plain-clothes police officers. "One of them was carrying a black handgun - it looked like an automatic - they pushed him to the floor, bundled on top of him and unloaded five shots into him." Passenger Briony Coetsee said: "We were on the Tube and then we suddenly heard someone say, 'Get out, get out' and then we heard gunshots."
lovejoy even if he was on the floor he could have been a threat. for example could have had anything in his hands or hidden about his person that he could have accessed even if he was cuffed and bagged etc. You really need to watch soem of the SAS documentaries about the iranian embasy seige adn shit liek that lovejoy, it will really fill you in on the realities of terrorist flavaz. in the ebasy seige one fo the torrists hid in with the hostages and as they were bundling them out threw a grenade down the stairs - it didn't go off, but you get the picture shit can happen. if someone out to kill people you can't handle them with the same logic as you would chasing a car thief or a vandal. terrorist and particularly suicide bombers in the thick of it ain't never going to "come quietly".
but i suggest that the people how decided the best procedure for dealing with terrorists in the police have peobably got more of an insight into (and experience of) counter-terrorism than either JB AND lovejoy put together.
Five shots at point blank range. Amazing. I kill you. I kill you again. What, you may have a bomb? I kill you again. And again. Are those people still watching? Let's kill him again.
And Dave, you can be forgiven for not knowing this, but I used to instruct at the Royal Navy's Board and Search school.
