Of course that has now all changed.It is tragic that this man is dead and seems to be unconnected, but as MFM said, he did come from a house under serveillence (for some time, wer'e told) and made the bad decision to run when told to stop.I don't think we'll see the last of these incidents considering how tense the situation is at the moment, lets just hope this is a lesson for anyone else thinking of resisting arrest.

Oh, okay. Thank you for explaining.
