How important these police officers are -- when it comes to the suicide bomber threat we face today, these people are the gatekeepers between us and the people trying to kill us.

So it is vital these highly trained professionals have the confidence of their bosses and the ordinary public.

If they don't have that, it might lead them to hesitate -- that split second could be the difference between life and death for hundreds of people.

The Brazilian was quite simply in the wrong place, doing totally the wrong thing at the wrong time. Yet why he made a run for it, despite challenges from police to stop, remains to be explained. Every one will understand the awful dilemma faced by the armed officer. To hold fire and risk more bloodshed, or shoot to kill.
