LONDON - A Brazilian shot to death a day after botched bombings in London had walked casually onto a train before being gunned down by undercover officers, according to leaked footage that appeared to contradict earlier police reports that said the man disobeyed police orders.

Sir Ian Blair, the Metropolitan Police commissioner, called the death regrettable, but said it appeared "the man was challenged and refused to obey police instructions."

Citing security footage, a British television station reported Tuesday that Menezes entered the Stockwell subway station at a normal walking pace, stopping to pick up a newspaper before boarding a train and taking a seat.
The ITV News broadcast, citing an investigation report into the shooting, also said Menezes was wearing a light denim jacket when he was shot seven times in the head and once in the shoulder. Witness reports described a terrifying scene of the man — wearing a bulky jacket on a warm July day — running through the train station, being tackled by a group of undercover police officers, then being shot several times at close range.

Seems like they messed up big time. The motive could be anything as discussed in the other thread.

I heard this on CNN. Will see if there are more details.
One officer who was supposed to be filming anybody who came out of those appartments missed the brazillian because he was relieving himself.
So there is no footage of him leaving the appartment, just the officers words.

I once made a mistake, but I was wrong about it.

Some interesting lines on the news report:

"A police spokeswoman also refused to explain what Blair meant when he said it appeared Menezes disobeyed orders. She noted, however, that police never said Menezes had tried to vault the barriers at the Underground station or tried to run from police."

and

"The report also said that, while Menezes was shot eight times, three other bullets were fired but missed."

Another news report on CNN earlier today suggested that the man was killed because ‘someone positively identified him as Omar Hussein (the alleged July 21 bomber who is now in custody in Italy)’.
