him.

Imagine you've left your flat and travelled three miles - including
part of the journey on a bus - and nothing unusual has happened to
you. You get inside the Tube station, and are in the process of
buying a ticket when suddenly a gang of men in plain-clothes come
running in waving guns and _not_ (apparently) identifying themselves
as police. Are you positive you wouldn't panic and run for you live?

And another one who wont explain why this illegal immigrant in fear of
his life didn't ask the police at Stockwell for protection. When is one
of these ****s going to answer the question.

Ian Blair keeps telling us that a policeman must make a life or death
decision in a split second and on this occasion they got it wrong. Why is
the same excuse invalid for an innocent man facing a gang of gun toting
thugs?

Well let's hope that 'Bob man' and the Independent Police Complaints
Authority understand that as well as you do. BTW, I read somewhere the
proportion of IPCA staff who are ex-coppers still bound by the old pals act.
Well over 50% IIRC.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) took over from the
Police Complaints Authority (PCA) in April 2004. I don't know about
their staff, but by law IPPC Commissioners must not have a police
background.

So if you were in a Tube station, buying a ticket and a load of men
came in screaming unintelligibly and waving guns, you would think,
"Now, what's happening here? Must look around to see if there are any
police officers I can ask for help..." Would you ****. Like most
people, you would run for your life.

On the other hand, if I were outside and started to be pursued by armed
police...

Are all you people complete f**king idiots. Since the 7 July and
especially since the incident at the adjacent station on the previous
day, each tube station has been ringed by police in very, very bright
yellow jackets. Only a complete idiot could fail to have noticed them.
The guy was not in the ticket hall buying a ticket, he ran in and had
enough presence to vault the gates.
You are dead right that I would run for my life but past goodness knows
how many policemen, vault a 4 foot high barrier, get cornered in tube
train.
Lets face it the guy was a complete and utter (innocent for all the
liberals) idiot.
Reminds me of the idiotic scenaio that you see in so many films that
makes for good movies but you can't help thinking what a pratt, when
being chased you run up a fire escape to the top of a very tall
building and well get stuffed basicly.
