Normally, they don't.

Dude jumped the ticket gate, ran down the escalator, was told to stop and didn't. If he's not linked, he's suspicious of something.

As I understand it, nobody else was hurt. For this, I'm grateful.

good point.....he's guilty of something. maybe they'll find that he's tied to these terrorists, and gather more information on them. maybe not. either way, the police sorted him out.

In Brit-speak that apparently means Pakistani or Indian;

And while British police dont usually carry firearms, these guys were apparently anti-terrorism dudes, not your run of the mill bobbies. (likely carrying an arsenal of semi-auto pistols and submachine guns, concussion grenades, "Chemical Billy" tear gas bombs, etc.)

True.

They still say 'China-man' for any East Asian.

("Don't be ign'ant. They're whole different type of China-man. Cambodian, or Thai...")

I see I've duplicated a thread. I figured this was about the Coral or something.
