Menezes officers 'not at fault'

[Krill]

So shooting the guy in the head without any restraint is OK, IYO? However, there has to be communication between Hotel 3 and the other officers, which is impossible without alerting the suspect at the last moment at the very latest (by shouting). So either they pinion his arms and hands so he cannot trigger a detonator (see below for problems with this), or...what, precisely? Give all police officers guns to shoot suspected trerrorists with, so the identifying officer here could have acted without the armed officers arriving?

Also, have you ever been in police restraint? Because while it is possible to restrain the arms so they don't move much, it is nigh on impossible to restrain the hands, fingers and thumbs, so if there is a wire from the bomb to the suspects hands, and all he had to do was, say, make a fist to set off the bomb, the restraint that the police use is not enough to stop the terrorist from setting off the bomb. Shooting the terrorist in the head is only way to stop the threat.

They meant to kill him that is not in dispute, it was an accident in the sense that they were shooting at somone else and missed, they thought(wrongly) but genuinely that he was a suicide bomber

The man they shot looks nothing like the man they intended to shoot. Absolutely nothing alike. Further more if they really thought he was going to blow himself up they should have evacuated the subway. They should not have assassinated an innocent man.

It's disgusting that you accept your police acting in such a fascist manner.
