As hard line as I've ever heard the Bobbies act
LONDON - Hours after chasing down and shooting to death one man on the subway, British police on Friday released photographs of four others suspected of launching Thursday's wave of terrorist attacks on London's transport system. Officials said the attacks bore similarities to the fatal bombings on July 7.
The police photographs, taken from closed-circuit TV cameras, showed one man wearing a dark shirt with "New York" across the front running through a subway station. Another was shown on the top of a double-decker bus, while the other two men were shown at separate subway stations.

"The modus operandi, the sheer cowardice associated with them and the attacks on innocent civilians — these are all part and parcel of al-Qaida," he told BBC radio.

LONDON - Plainclothes police chased a man in a thick coat through a subway station, wrestled him to the floor of a train car and shot him to death in front of stunned commuters Friday. Police said the shooting was "directly linked" to the investigations of the bomb attacks on London's transit system.

The average patrol Bobbie on the street ain't packing heat, but I believe the car Bobbies do.

I just answered my own question: they thought he had explosives on him, so I guess It's kill, or face the possibility of yourself and many others being killed. It's a ****ed up situation when you're possibly dealing with someone willing to blow themselves up just to take out a few "infadels".
