Mockney, I am well aware of the Brazilian authorities record in respect of human rights, that's not the point. This guy was shot, in public, in the head 7 TIMES For f**k sake. This is not about the Brazilian authorities, this about our "boys in blue" and an innocent human being being gunned down becasue he looked nervous, apparently. How f**k**g lame is that. Let's not forget that, and fall in to the trap of tit for tat and saying "well your human rights record is worse than ours". I suppose it would have been different if it had been "one of our own" would it??
