I didn't run or jump a turnstile either.

It is a tragic but understandable mistake.

It is a tragedy because mistakes were made by both sides. The police were operating in the context of two series of bombings within two weeks, six of which occurred in the Underground. By his appearance and actions, the suspect fit the bill. Running away into the Underground raised the suspicions and level of anxiety on both sides. The suspect didn't act like an innocent man. He paid a terrible price. Given the circumstances, I don't fault the police for their actions nor do I hold the victim responsible for his own death. It was just a case of friendly fire and being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
