Kiwimac, you are right. Most people here are missing the point completely.
Not agreeing with you doesn't mean we miss your point.
This was an innocent man, and we have christians here on this thread saying that it was his fault, or the police were right to do what they did. That disgusts me. I'm sure that what Jesus what have said too, right?
Since Jesus said we are to obey our lawmakers, yes that is probably what Jesus would have said.
What if the story you've been spoon fed, isnt the real story?
He wasnt wearing a bulky jacket to begin with, and he didnt jump the turnstill. Don't believe me, read this article.

What if it is the real story and this is article has been concocted to confuse and mis-lead? It's been long enough in coming
Why would the police confront a suicide bomber by chasing him into a crowded area, and forcing/tackling him to the ground?
Obviously to keep him out of the train.
If he's wearing a bomb, why would these men risk the chance that he'd take them out?? Are these men not afraid of death?
Because they're cops and that is what they do.
The put their lives on the line to keep the rest of us safe. If we didn't have these brave women and men putting their lives on the line for the pitiful salary we give them, the world would be even uglier than it is.
They have families too, remember, and they're not completly oblivious to what a bomb can do to them.
See above. It's what they do.
Its as if they knew he didnt have a bomb on him at all.
yea, right
Why have these policemen not been properly identified in reports?
Confidentiality. We can't have plain-clothed detectives outed for doing their job, undercover is ugly and dangerous work.
Why were they in plain street clothes and carrying silenced weapons(as one eye witness reported?)
If you are watching terrorists and don't want them to know they are being watched, what would you wear?
And come on, suicide bombers dont run. They detonate the bomb and blow up. The police know this. Wouldnt the fact that hes running away indicate that hes not a suicide bomber?
Of course suicide bombers run, if you're going to die for your belief, wouldn't you want to take the most number of your enemies with you? If they catch you, you might not be able to set off your bomb. If you don't, then oops, there go your virgins.
Also, reports say that he was tackled by officers. Wouldnt they then be able to tell that there were no explosives on him? Especially since the story of a bulky jacket was not true.
Where do you carry explosives? If you're trying to not die are you going to worry that the bump you're feeling is his wallet or a detonator?
Things just dont add up. Who knows if we'll ever know the real story.
Even if this story is as its been told to us by the media, and some innocent man was executed in public by police, the belief that some of you hold, that he somehow deserved it for running is disgusting and simply deplorable. May God have mercy on your wicked hearts.
