Did the cops have a reason to be suspicious about the man? Of course.
Since the man was illegally in the country, did he have a reason to be scared? Yeah.
Do we know about anyone else being after that guy? No.
Could the cops have gone about this in a better way? I think so. You don't just shoot someone 8 times under the basis of suspicion.

The police had to act in a split second. If I was in their situation I probably would have done the same thing.

Yes, but you're a fucking idiot, so that holds no weight here. Go make posts about how much you would love some German dick, TOT just isn't your place.

Don Seer:
yes i did.
he refused to stop when police asked him, he illegaly entered a subway station and boarded a train full of passengers.
put yourself in the mindset of an armed person specifically tasked with preventing suicide bombers on trains.
i'm NOT saying it was right, i'm saying it is an UNDERSTANDABLE action.

why was he not a suspected bomber?
he came from the house they were watching..
he was wearing unseasonably large clothin.. which they though could be concealing something..
he refused to stop for the police
fact is he WAS

I mean did the cops see anything resembling a bomb on the guy? I mean let's use the CWalker/Trauma mentality and ask if the guy said Allahu Akbar when he ran? LOL what did the guy do to make them go from "this guy is suspicious" to "this guy is gonna blow this shit up"

the "suspicion" you said doesn't exist was heightened by the fact that he made a direct bee line for a train fill of passengers.. that is the exact worse thing dude could have done in his situation. to the dude himself... theres obviously nothing wrong with that.
but the police DID suspect of him being a bomber therefore they took the necessary actions to prevent a detonation..
Fuck You, Pay Me:
LOL... no man.. I said "he was a "suspected" suicide bomber (fact is, he wasn't)"... as in wasn't a suicide bomber.
