The Menezes thing got me thinking....

What if you're getting the tube one day, you probably run for the tube as you're always late.

A copper puts his gun in your face. He may or may not say, "armed police", it won't matter by that time he's got his orders and he'll be hyped up on adrenilin.

So, the question - what do you do?

If you do nothing, then you're dead right? You've been positively id'd, you're on a tube, he's got to save innocent civilians.

Or, you do something. Likely, they're definitely going to shoot you now as you must be a terrorist - you're fighting back. Your only hope is to overpower him & get as far away as you can and hope that when they calm down it can all be sorted out.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.....
