The use of excessive force by the Police was in the case of the Brazilian shot dead as he boarded a London underground train. I don’t blame the officers (who are on high alert after the 7th of July bombings and have seen the effect of terrorist attacks like the horrific 9/11).

Its a problem most officers face, when and how to use the appropriate force at the appropriate time. Any officer would be able to tell you, no training prepares you for the real thing.]]> Its true that, in the 10 cases you highlighted, excessive use of force by the Police is always an issue.
