Bobbies Packing Heat, Part II

The dead guy was a Brazilian!

I had discussed the matter earlier, wondering whether the dead man was a bomber, a decoy, or an idiot. All due respect for the dead, I still think he was one of those three. Probably the last.

Why was he wearing a heavy coat in July?

Did the police identify themselves? If so, then why didn't the suspect stop when ordered?

What was he doing in a suspected terrorist hideout?

Unless we have Moslem extremists immigrating to Britain from Brazil (doubtful) we have a tragedy. At the same time, I am not ready to condemn the British police without knowing all the facts. Why? Because in a state of emergency, when these guys are putting their lives on the line for us, we do owe them the benefit of the doubt.

And maybe even a couple of doubts.
