    Seems very reasonable to expect the police not to allow inaccurate versions to fester for weeks.

    Really? It's often police policy not to comment on ongoing investigations.

    So why did they feel to need to provide inaccurate statements when they killed this man?

    AFAIK it wasn't their public relations people who gave the original statements?

    In fairness they didnt allow him in to the tube station, he ran and jumped over the barrier. They shot him as soon as they could at that point.

    The bus was fairly questionable but AFAIK the cops following him were not armed and had clled in another unit who then attemted to arrest him out side the tube station.

    It appears that they did indeed allow him to get in to the tube station.

    They only manged to tackel him after he had made it all the way on to the train and after he tripped. They jumped on him at that point fearing he would detonate a bomb.

    Assuming they identified them selfs as armed police hwas mad to run what did he think was going to happen. I reckon if he had run down the street instead of on to the trian he would he would be alive. The police had to assume the worst when he went for a train.

    ...again, this isnt what has appeared to have happend
