190. Total over-reaction by the police.
It was one huge stuff-up from the beginning. IF they genuinely
thought he was a terrorist, they should have stopped him before
he got to the platform.

And once they had him pinned to the ground, IF they genuinely thought
he was a terrorist, didn't it occur to him they might have learned
more by keeping him alive and questioning him?

Sorry, but eight bullets IMO is an execution. These guys were jumpy
and over-reacted. And those who persist in defending their actions
are ignoring the fact that next week it could happen to them.

Especially if their skin looks a bit dark.
