If you were commuting to work, on the Tube, and police officers clearly wanted a word with you (and you had no idea what), what would your actions be?
I'm sorry, but it just seems obvious to me that you don't run away (or in the more recent case, smash your Q8 into the marked police car).

The leaked IPCC documents indicated that Menezes was seated on the train carriage when the SO19 armed unit arrived. A shout of "police" may have been made, but the suspect had no opportunity to respond before he was shot. The leaked documents indicated that he was restrained by an undercover officer before being shot.
During the 2008 inquest into Menezes's death, passengers who were travelling in the same carriage also contradicted police accounts, saying that they heard no warnings and that Menezes gave no significant reaction to arrival of the policemen. One passenger said that Menezes appeared calm even as a gun was held to his head, and was clear that the police officers did not shout any warnings before shooting him.

Still don't deserve to be shot.

I get (and agree) that you shouldn't run away. But the point is more that if you DO run away from the police, do you deserve to be killed for it?
There were plenty of other options to take before shooting him in the head imo.

But you can be executed for travelling on the tube so nothing would surprise me.
