It only took 5 times
rodneyc//05
but he looked like one of
them,
why did he run,
not listen to our commands
just ran,
and we did what we had to do
to protect the nation,
to secure the blessings
of peace and tranquility
for God, Country,
and the Queen,
we blew his head off
damn..
it only took 5 bullets.
Five, not 3 or 4,
but five - right into the
temple,
left nothing to mourn about
you would think one
quick one to the brain
would have done it.
but
it took five
bam, bam, bam,bam, bam
and
he was dead
dead
with the first one
but you know
those terrorists
the cells keep on living
so for
God, Country,
and the Queen
we blew his head off
but damn
why you so upset
it only took 5 times.

I think it’s the five shots to the head that
sets this apart from the average mistaken identity killing, allowing for
adrenalin and literal rush to avoid a detonation. Was he not dead after the
first two?
London with its minority populations
does not need to acquire the reputation for excessive force that the IDF or LA
PD have. Britain
does not need an intifada or home grown race violence, as Keith worries about.
The Japanese would have the same public perception
problem if this happened in a Tokyo
subway to a Korean migrant worker.

Harry's question still stands.
I know that it would be nice to avoid grievances and for us all to live in
peace and harmony. But at this juncture: What to do?
If the police don't shoot they are blamed. If the police shoot they are
blamed.

Chris,
What would you do if someone in a heavy overcoat on a hot
day - someone who was under your surveillance - went into
the subway and boarded a train, soon after similar
situations in which bombs had been exploded killing 50
people?
You needn't answer, for you are never faced with that
situation.
It's always easy - for a non-player - to complain at
mistakes made by those who are trying to save multiple
casualties and must think and act quickly.
