He was running from them, he ran from the street, into the underground, he was under survellance anyway.
If someone ran through an airport a week after 9/11 and looked like he might for whatever reason be carring a bomb, do you think they should just knock him over and cuff him, or shoot him? There is NO time to think a situation like that through, a decision has to be made, and the right one was. The bombers were home bred, so trying to identify him while pursuing him through the underground won't work.
Mistakes do happen in policing, but given the circumstances, its understandable.
Cynthetiq - I probably would feel differently if it was a relation but, not to sound harsh, he wasn't, and i still stand beside the police in their call.
