It's the zero tolerance policy for fare dodgers.
According to bystanders they jumped on top of him and unloaded about 5 shots into him. Some claims that he had some sort of bomb belt on. In which case, gaun yersels. If these are the guys from yesterday, that's some pretty impressive sleuthing. |

It seems he may have been in the country on an expired visa.
Link It's very regrettable and of course one wishes these things didn't happen, but it doesn't seem that the police had much choice.

no pity for a guy who was shot dead (5 shots) who was not a criminal? I haven't read all the stories - but he was Brazilian. Maybe he didn't understand english too well and didn't get what the police were shouting at him.
Wouldn't you run and get scared if foreign people were shouting at you and pointing guns at you? They had to shoot a guy with no weopon 5 times?
