Yeah when you consider it that way I agree with that.

Gwent police have a firearms division? I didn't even realise they had police. I thought they just had ***ts in police uniforms that operated scamera vans?

The fact that the guy was in the UK illegally should never be entered as any kind of justification for what happened here.

As FS mentioned, the guy was followed from the house where the Police knew a terrorist lived. They observed him leaving the property. Why oh why did they simply not aprehend him as he came out of the property as opposed to obliterating him in a train carriage full of other innocent passengers? Surely making their presence known to him out in a street would have been a much better percentage option? They were staking out the house, so to place officers in suitable positions to avoid him escaping, surely would have been a simple matter.

Their actions stink of dreadfull comunication,observation skills and a high degree of lynch mob mentality for supposedly highly trained professionals.

OK, this myth needs to be squashed also. His original 6 month visa had expired......HOWEVER he had applied for and been granted a work permit while his application for an extended visa was being deal with.
I wish you attitude of expecting extreme force to be used against you if you are a criminal was one that criminals also had. Sadly its the innocent public who time and time again get the dirty end of this stick while real criminals get away with street robberies left and right.

I dont actualy blame the guys who pulled the triggers. The did what they THOUGHT had to be done. The senior officers who gave the orders in this situation need to face criminal prosecution and face jail time for their actions tho.

Even the guy who first jumped on Jean Charles didnt expect the armed response to be behind him let alone fire at the target. Thats the evidence he has given recently. Furthermore he himself was dragged off the train by another armed cop who leveld his MP5 at the guys chest and held him against a wall while the guy tried to explain that he too was police.

Criminal lack of respect for human life at best, incopteance beyond belief by senior commanders at worst. The senior commanders should be in the dock as they have a lot to answer for.

Bingo... If he'd been a suicide bomber he would have succeeded. When he was killed he'd already passed through several crowded areas and travelled on a bus while being pursued, and when they caught him he would have had more than enough time to detonate any device he'd had on him.

This whole thing get me really angry. Just because he didnt stop doesn't give anyone the right to blow him away, there were also unmarked officers.

This may be simplistic but someone here has got to take responsiblity, because if the police are to contiune to use guns (which i think they should be able to) someone has got to be responsible for every shot fired. Putting this down as a mistake IMHO is unaccepatable, I know humans make mistakes but when it comes to life a death its not really good enough.
