They weren't necessarily in the right either. They wounded a couple of bystanders in the process.

They were about to be wounded themselves, by the sound of it.

Oh well better they shot someone innocent.

This is as reckless as cops getting into high speed pursuits. And the whole death could had been avoided if they didnt waste everyones time cracking down on a train fare.

It also could have been avoided if the nutter hadn't pulled a knife on the police.
