RE: [Futurework] London Assassins were Trained in Israel

[Harry Pollard]

Karen,   It will no doubt all come out at the inquest.   If he was still moving, it is likely he would be shot again. The belief is that if he gets into his pocket or under his coat, he might set off an explosion. So, you make sure that he stops all movement.   I rather think that the shots to the head occurred because the undercover men could not shoot at the body for obvious reasons.   So, they should have remained cool, calm, and collected – even though the adrenalin was pumping, fear of an explosion was in their minds, and the man was already apparently under suspicion.   We are well able to criticize their actions because we are never in that position. We don’t have to make split second decisions that may save or destroy lives.   We can simply complain about it in our E-Mails.   Harry   ******************************* Henry George School of Social Science of Los Angeles Box 655  Tujunga  CA 91042 818 352-4141 *******************************     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lawrence deBivort Sent: Monday, July 25, 2005 9:15 AM To: 'Karen Watters Cole'; futurework@fes.uwaterloo.ca Subject: RE: [Futurework] London Assassins were Trained in Israel   By Rodney Coates, from another list:     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.       From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Karen Watters Cole Sent: Monday, July 25, 2005 10:49 AM To: futurework@fes.uwaterloo.ca Subject: RE: [Futurework] London Assassins were Trained in Israel   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. kwc   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. arthur -----Original Message-----   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. Harry
