I do think it's a real shame what happened but you can't really say the police have done wrong. He was acting suspiciously, and they did shout at him to stop, and despite having sound knowledge of the English language he decided to run which really was a very silly thing to do. Why did he run? I mean, if you were in London and someone shouted out "Stop" what would you do? My natural reaction would be to stop and look at who shouted out. I wouldn't want to take any chances and be caught up in the middle of a potential bombing on the underground or anywhere for that matter, would you?

I think the police were right in shooting him as they can't afford to take any chances. They had a split second to make that decision and must have been under an great deal of pressure. Just a big shame that it was an innocent person. To me, they only proved that they are doing they're job right and are trying to avoid a repeat of what happened on that dreadful Thursday morning.
I also can't help but think that if you are Muslim and are not Caucasian and travel around London with a rucksack on your back you would be seen as a suspect.
