I like how you conveniently miss the point the guy was a suspect

you can be a suspect in a matter of minutes. *bah*

and was
being followed and only when it looked like he was going to commit his
crime did the cops make themselves known. And then he ran.

so you know more than we know.

as London is known for all their cameras: where are the pictures from those
cams?

what are the odds that a deaf person will start running when
a cop yells "Stop, Police!"?

OK if you yell the command in 31 different languages.

If they don't understand that much English, they should go back home.

There's nothing "eye to eye" about it. If someone goes out of their way to
convince the authorities that they are carrying a bomb and have the ability to
set it off at any time, it is not only the right but it is the *responsibility*
of the authorities to kill him as rapidly and surely as possible without
discharging the bomb. If he didn't happen to have a bomb, his actions simply
make him a candidate for the Darwin award.

what do you mean? collateral damage?

hu?

in this context (with the reply postings): beeing deaf and running to the
tube in a hurry, wanting to catch the next one. Then you have not uniformed
(?) police running behind you. what do you mean? maybe they also want to
catch the tube?

yes, the person shot (killed) by police was not deaf (AFAIK). It was only
an idea of how easy one could be a victim.

When I lived in England in the 80's it was a loo or a crapper. Never
heard toilet used...
