Aside from the shoot to kill policy after 9/11 which led to an innocent man being stalked by police then without warning held down and immediately shot seven times in the head.
You're right. Deaths under that policy would have been classed as a lawful killing, and I've noticed that I've changed the OPs question erroneously. Thank you.
The question should have read "murdered within seconds and without warning".
I saw a lot of twelves there, which is 19kmh. While dodging trash bins and trying not to kill anyone, this is a reasonable speed. Not for a competitive cyclist of course.
I think the video was doctored to be even slower....
There was no reason to go any faster. He wasn't an immediate danger and they were just following him until he could be safely stopped. No need to escalate anything.

“Why didn’t they just murder him within seconds and without warning?”

That's a list of deaths directly connected to police in the UK.
Where is the evidence to support the claim that they were killed within seconds and without warning?

Its somewhat of a pun on the Favela motorcycle chase video that circulated here a few days ago.

That's the laziest riding I've seen in a while
stylusmobilus@aussie.zone · 23 pts · 46d
I think it’s probably faster and going harder than we think but yeah, it looked pretty relaxed didn’t it
hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 24 pts · 46d
The speedometer shows ~8-10kmh
nibbler@discuss.tchncs.de · 2 pts · 45d
UK uses miles, so I guess mph, which is way faster.
hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 6 pts · 45d
Eww
But that's still only 16kmh, which is very slow for cycling

I watched this muted, but my windows are open and there’s a bunch of sirens outside so this was a very exciting chase!
