Let's remember that according to a witness, the police pushed him to the ground, and once on top of him, shot him five times.A man shot dead by police hunting the bombers behind Thursday's
London attacks was a Brazilian electrician unconnected to the
incidents.
So, is it wrong to have inquiries?
The Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, said: "The police acted to do
what they believed necessary to protect the lives of the public.
"This
tragedy has added another victim to the toll of deaths for which the terrorists
bear responsibility."
In a democracy, the police force is not supposed to be a militia. The police should be accountable for it's actions, and held responsible. Otherwise, we give them a licence to kill, and the government a licene to reign while we're at it. Then we are no longer in a democracy. Or we declare war on somebody, and then the country is officially at war. Is this the case?
