    I would like to see a movie in which someone calls the cops and tells them that a terrorist ist running amok in a train station. The thing is that the terrorist is dressed as a cop and, of course, the cops start shooting each other. In the end it turns out they are all terrorists.

      Also taking out innocent bystanders:

      two police officers pursued this man up three flights of stairs and confronted him on the station platform. Police say the man pulled out a knife. Both officers opened fire on the man, piercing him with several bullets, while also striking two bystanders; one of the officers was hit with friendly fire. One of the bystanders, a 49-year-old man, is in critical condition in the hospital from a bullet wound to the head.
