Really, this just seems like bad policing.

The out-of-control, undisciplined shooting of the first suspect was rediculous (watch the video) and now this.
Shooting suspects just seems like a bad way to follow leads and gain information.
Somethin' don't sound right. You mean to tell me that this young man
was stupid enough to use martial arts against a gun . Come on now
As a gun owner myself, this sounds like someone who is trigger happy
Guns are always the answer :-)
Never bring a knife to a gunfight.
I agree. They didn't need a kill shot, and a taser would have incapacitated him. It smells funny.

It seems like somebody doesn't want somebody to talk...
-
Suspect? Undisciplined? Ever been under fire?
With homicidal bombers lobbing bombs and bullets you shoot first to stop whatever they’re doing, and then ask questions if they survive!
Perhaps policemen should wait and see if bombers detonate a truck full of explosives and take a city-block in the process before they put them out of commission? After all, it would be completely rude to stop someone in the middle of what they’re doing. Right?

Marvin. That is lame.
Watch the video of the police firing at the bostom bomber - someone that they should be keen to take alive so they can question.
Two problems:
We're now talking about an unarmed person being questioned by at least 3 people.
It reminds me of the Statue of Liberty shooting a while back which I think is a symptom of the same issue:
11 hit in Empire State Building shoot-out
Question: How do 11 people get hit by a man which only fired 3 out of his 8 bullets?
Answer: Undisciplined police who've watched too many hollywood movies.
Thankfully, the vast majority of law-enforcement do a better job than this so these headlines aren't "the norm" and it's important that we make sure they don't become that.
lol
