Use of deadly force in GB sparks debate

The man who was shot to death by London police now raises questions about the use of deadly force. Just a foot note that most British police officers are not armed. The police officers that followed this particular suspect were armed. They have to call in the unit that carries guns. The metropolitan police defended their actions stating the behavior of the suspect was consistent of that of suicide bomber. The suspect did not help the situation by not following the instructions of the police officers and running away from them.
