Suicide by police – That’s the only way to explain the death of a Brazilian national, shot by London undercover officers after a chase in the London Underground. When I get stopped for speeding (it’s been over five years now, knock wood) I turn my engine off, put my hands on the wheel, and don’t reach for anything unless the cop says it’s OK. This guy was wearing a heavy jacket in July, jumped a turnstile, and ran from the police onto a subway car only two weeks after the 7/7 bombings that killed 54 people.

Follow-up – Crazy “Red Ken” Livingstone is right for once: “This tragedy has added another victim to the toll of deaths for which the terrorists bear responsibility.”
