London Underground, Deadwood Station

You know that "Asian" youth the London cops ran to ground in the Tube and then executed yesterday? Turns out he was Brazilian, and unconnected to the 7/7 bombings. Oops.

Maybe they need to rethink their "plainclothes-officer-shoot-to-kill-upon-failure-to-heed-verbal-warning" protocols. You know, for the sake of the deaf, the non-English-speaking, the mentally ill, the confused and inebriated, the listening-to-their-iPods, the momentarily distracted, the wanted-by-the-police-for-petty-crimes, the late-for-work, etc., etc.
