They raided his house then arrested him on firearms offences.

I would be a liittle bit aggrieved in his situation - "unconfirmed" gun man sighting etc. Busting down his door in the wee hours!

Unlucky.

Innocent until guilty. blah, blah blah!

Bunch of plonkers, poor bloke is lucky he wasn't running to catch the tube.

Im sorry, but i'll stick up with the police again, If you saw someone with what looked like a gun, would't you err on the side of caution? like that bloke with the table leg, it was onlyu him that knew it wasnt a gun but the thought h'd act the big man, wave it about, and sadly got shot! his fault tho!

as for mr brazilian, if armed police told me to stop, i wouldnt run, jump a barrier, dive on to a train?!

+1. And the fact that only last week a copper was shot dead I think its understandable for them to take the 'safer' option for all concerned.

He did what every other commuter did - he ran for a train. He did not jump a barrier. The police only made their presence known when they got on hte tube, held him down then shot those 10(?) bullets into his head. No warning was given afaik. The brazilian bloke didn't even look like the perp the police were after.

You're right of course. That was in all likelihood an unlicensed cardboard cut out. Throw away the key!

oooh! Hasn't all this individual rights & freedom issue stuff made my blood boil.

If it was all so innocent and the police were heavy-handed then why was he held for 13 hours and bailed for firearms offences?
