I feel the cold and am English - I too wear thick jackets even in the summer - let alone someone who may well be used to a much hotter climate.
Some witnesses have said the man appeared to have headphones (for music) on - he may not have heard the police. As they were plain clothed 'policemen' with guns would you not run if suddenly a group of men started chasing after you with guns drawn? I imagine the investigation into this terrible incident will give us more facts.
5 bullets in the head and torso? I doubt that if the police - or whoever they were, if suspecting that he may be carrying explosives on him wwould shoot him in the torso (and risk hitting a detonator or explosive).
British police do not a shoot to kill policy - it may not have been the police that shot him, even if it were then the police have the right to stop a situation if they think by doing so it will prevent injury or death to others (or themselves). It is NOT a shoot to kill policy.
Ric, m8 - imho 'The West' is only just beginning to pay for it's meddling into affairs which it should have stayed out of, not only years ago but recently too. Ironically there are possilby more insurgents and terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan now then there were before The West invaded - and the situation seems far from a conclusion one way or the other...
