Bobbies Packing Heat

There was a shooting incident this morning on the London Underground. Police attempted to detain an Arab-looking person wearing an oddly heavy coat. The man ran; the police chased him down and; hesitating not a moment, used deadly force on him.

Obviously, they shot him to prevent his detonation of any bomb which he might have carried, concealed under his coat.

Of course, the Moslem community in Britain is howling.

Let them howl. Whether the dead man was carrying explosives under his coat or not, I think it was a good call by the police given the man's dress and his response to police attempts to detain him peacefully.

The police are doubly justified given the bombings yesterday and three weeks ago.

But, gosh: those mean police officers obviously had that poor guy racially profiled.

Sorry folks, but my patience has run out for Moslems who refuse to condemn terrorism but angrily oppose anything resembling prejudice against their religion. In my mind, a South Asian or Middle Eastern man who wears a heavy coat in July during a terror alert and then runs from police is probably a pretty good candidate for the Darwin Awards.
