This is a tragedy, definitely, but for fucks sake, keep your stuff in order, and dont run from the cops if you havent done anything wrong. if he had a visa and it was just expired, get it sorted. Don't ignore the police telling you to stop, especially in a city that has just been hit twice by terrorists.
Not by any means condoning the amount of force, but you know on the other hand, had he just ran off and got away, and next week his face is caught on camera getting on a bus with a ruck sack full of bombs.. then what?
it is a hard line. but you are correct. it was not like they just picked out this guy and shot him. he was given orders many times ... and just because you have xx visa does not give you any right to run. it was a stupid mistake on his part, it cost him his life. On the other hand ... why don't cops fire rounds into legs and arms ... that does put people down ...
yes, i agree, a shot in the arm, leg, shoulder would most likely have been sufficient, and had he been a terrorist, taking him alive would have been better. But I cant even begin to think what the mind set of any law enforcement official is right now. Think of how the police must have been and still are affected in NY after 9-11? were they even going to think twice?
it is difficult, they need to be as professional and mentally stable as possible, but they are human, and trying to protect innocent people.. and unfortunately another innocent person has died.
