they made the sort of mistake you would never make seeing as you trained with Delta Force.
Picture yourself as part of the police force - in their shoes. You follow a 'suspect' to a tube station. When challenging him (assuming they did normal procedures by shouting "STOP/FREEZE POLICE!" the suspect fled by running into a TRAIN full of INNOCENT people! The police made a split second decision - to take his life based on his reaction (the exact decision I and probably every member of this board would have done in there position when having no evidence suggesting he's innocent).

What would you have thought if this guy had a bomb, and when tackled having blown the officers and pretty much everyone else up on the train? I know we'd be having this discussion saying "they should have shot the guy, why didnt they shoot him"

I'm all for this rule "shoot to kill", mistakes happen! 1 mistake is better a potential 40 innocent lives having lost (should it have been the other way round.[/quote:2170b]
Like i said before, the guy was previously mugged by gangsters a few days prior to his death. What would you do when you've gown up in a developing country and the fights are brought to the streets? Violence in Brazil is alot more in your face than it is in any developed country such as the UK. Fact is, he was being chased by plain clothed men and im sure the mugging he recieved earlier was running through his head.

anyone would have ran in his situation
