    They didn't just shoot him in the back of the head? youngsters these days don't know they are born. When I was small they would have pumped several rounds into him straight away etcetc.

      - A case of shoot first, ask questions later.
      - There's nothing I want to ask him
      Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

        At least he got the opportunity to lay down - that choice did not seem to be offered on the tube!

          You mean he didn't run away from the police?

                Yeah, the Brazilian guy would have been better off in Brazil. Their police force has a GREAT human rights record, they never indulge in police brutality or routine murders for bribe money, no...

                  Doesn't sound nice at all...

                    Sounds like target practice. Perhaps they thought it was a drill at first and only found out later?
