Not really a hoax
This is bad anyway, pinning someone to the ground and then shooting them five times in the head. I bet they'll have one of their standard investigations and the officers the committed this murder will be exonerated.
This is the passage thet get me though
"If you are dealing with someone who might be a suicide bomber, if they remain conscious, they could trigger plastic explosives or whatever device is on them," Mayor Ken Livingstone. "Therefore, overwhelmingly in these circumstances, it is going to be a shoot-to-kill policy."
This is carte blanche for the cops to shoot anyone they want, all they have to do is claim they beleived the guy/gal was a suicide bomber.
Since when was London a police state?
Sorry, this probably doesn't belong on a hoax forum, but I had to vent.

The police made a mistake. Their snap judgement was the wrong one. For those who wish to know how humans can make a snap error in milliseconds read 'blink' by Malcolm Gladwell. Its almost the same result as the manslaughter of Amadou Diallo 3rd Feb 1999 N.Y. The Police made a string of errors because they were either not qualified to carry out this task or they got so hyped up that they forgot all training they had and took the path that leads to manslaughter.
