In a confined space like a bus, numbers are not an advantage. there is only so much space to maneuver for a cop and to pull his gun get his aiming points and fire.
[QUOTE=FlamesAddiction;4346161If they were afraid of a bomb as some people stated, the last thing you would want to do is shoot him and cause the whole thing to blow up.[/QUOTE]
Too much hollywood. Must simple bombs aren't created with a deadman's switch. That's why in the London Bombing tragedy the police procedure for someone with a potential bomb is to prevent someone from detonating it by destroying that person.
Most simple bomb detonators are by closing a circuit, or pulling a pin or whatever. Usually the bomb won't blow up if the person can't do that simple act.
