LONDON (AP) - Police have arrested a third man in south London as part
of their investigation into the attempted bombings of three subways
cars and a bus on July 21, an official said Sunday.

The man was arrested late Saturday in the same area as two other men,
and in the same neighborhood where a Brazilian electrician mistakenly
killed by police had lived. The man was arrested "on suspicion of the
commission, investigation or preparation of acts of terrorism," said a
police spokeswoman on customary condition of anonymity.

1. At least he made it through the arrest process

"The man was arrested "on suspicion of the
commission, investigation or preparation of acts of terrorism,"

Yeah, that same thing got a man killed yesterday.

3. I wouldn't tell you that. However, I'm an American ...and I would

NEVER EVER tell you that about American cops either. I wouldn't engage in such hypocrisy.

If it makes you feel any better, I'd say the exact same things about cops in America...and do.

Doesn't matter to me where it happened...it's not a my country compared to your country contest. I don't get offended when people remark on American cops fucking up...I only get offended by the fuck up....not the comments.

5. Don't try to justify an injustice with another injustice

Because you're wrong.

7. I'm sick of your justification

of the shooting by a bunch of fascists in plain clothes. This is even worse than the Diallo shooting in NYC, because atleast then the cops could claim it looked like he was pulling out a gun (though that can't be justified either).

Try being south Asian (or even Hispanic or Brazillian) and see what it's like being in Britain now. Everyone is now viewed under suspicion. After so many incidents of beatings (and killings in some cases) of south Asians in Britain, you'd understand why he ran.

6. Perhaps he followed the instructions the police gave him

instead of running from them, jumping a turnstile and entering a subway car while wearing a heavy coat.

Funny how the same people who bitch about connecting the dots refuse to see them.

8. Maybe you should understand

that the men chasing him were in PLAIN CLOTHES!

Maybe he was concerned it was a mob of white skinheads chasing him.

11. If the arrest holds up, I look forward to a trial

It will be refreshing to see due process, evidence and all that other stuff for a change.
