    Britian allows sensible racial discrimination

    That was the only way I could think of to title this - it's actually they are allowing racial groups to be oprofiled and targeted... Not that I think it will make much difference, and it could easilly cross over the line in to harasssment, but as Pinkish (white) people are usually targetted...

    UK police shoot dead suspect

    Sounds like they shot him 5 times, probably in the head, but after they had him down. Normally this would freak me out but if as witnesses say he was wearing a bomb belt, well probably a usual precaution. UK police do not carry guns unless armed for a specific purpose, or trained Firearms...
