The Beeb has a graphic detailing what is known, so far, about the shooting of supposed terrorism suspect, Jean Charles de Menezes, at London's Stockwell Station last week.
Additionally, there's this development:
The Brazilian man shot dead by police who mistook him for a suicide bomber in south London had been in Britain on an out-of-date visa, officials say.If true, it would provide some reason for him to run from the police. This assumes that the plainclothes police readily identified themselves and that claims that de Menezes spoke fluent English are correct.Jean Charles de Menezes, 27, may have run from police because of his visa situation, BBC correspondents say.
It continues to look more and more like a tragic accident, which makes the idiots who cheered his shooting without any of the facts to look more and more like - well - idiots.
Note, please, that this is no way means I think the police acted improperly. It's perfectly logical to consider this a tragedy, accept that the police behaved in a rational manner, and that those who applauded the shooting when first announced are kind o'dumb.
