Shoot to Kill

There are some people who are upset over the shooting of a man in the London tube on Friday.

The man, who was wearing a sweatshirt in the summertime, vaulted the turnstile, and ran from the cops who had attempted to apprehend him. They caught him in a subway car, pinned him to the ground, and shot him 5 times in the head.

Look, I’m sure his family is really sad, but what did he think was going to happen? Kudos to UK officials for supporting the cops’ actions. Maybe people will think twice about running from the cops, especially on the tube.

Update: Some people are claming that the cops didn’t identify themselves as cops. If that is true, it changes things.
