What happens when you run from police on high alert?
Some people are decrying the actions of the London police in shooting a Brazilian man suspected of being a terrorist.
WIZBANG takes emotion out of the equation and in a post aptly titled "If it walks, talks, and quacks like a duck during duck season, it's gonna get shot" says:
I would like to see the London police express their regret for Mr. de Menezes' death, but NOT apologize. His death was his responsibility entirely. He did everything that a bomber would do, and deliberately chose not to do the things that would have allowed the police to determine he was not a threat before they were forced to shoot and kill him.Read the rest.

Bob - The word HALT tranlates into several lanquages.
More to the point. If you walk out of a known terrorist "safe house" in 95 degree weather wearing a heavy winter ovfercoat you raise suspicion. Then when you jump over a "tube" counter you raise more.
Do not wear a hevy overcoat in a heat wave and you may not raise suspicion. Wear a t-shirt and shorts and nobody will give you a second look.
