That may well be. On the other hand, the man was wearing an overcoat on a hot summer day and ran from them. There were allegedly also "wires" coming out of the coat accroding to some witnesses.
That does not give a reason to shoot someone who was down and being subdued -- unless someone thought he was reaching for one of the alleged wires or whatever.
I suspect that the British Police don't have nearly as much experience with deadly force as American cops because most of them don't carry guns.
