I didnt realise police are now mindreaders.

I'm pretty sure the non-uniformed police officers would have IDENTIFIED themselves as police as they approached the suspect. Not as you said "stop you bugger" What police officer in their right mind would say that when approaching a fucking suicide bomb suspect??

this is only a presumption of what was going through the police's minds: I can see why they shot him as he was pinned - as the article said if the person was wearing a bomb they could reach for some sort of detenator button and kill everyone in the area. Thats what i believe is the reason they shot him (although 5 times is abit extreme)
