Those are the headlines. Happy now?

Very puzzled by the odd behaviour of the Brazilian who ended up being shot in the head five times on a London tube train in banal Stockwell station. But also wondering about the plainclothes police who killed him. Some questions:
  • why was Jean Charles wearing a puffa jacket in summer?
  • if they were so sure he was a bomber, why didn't they kill him as soon as he got on the bus?
  • why didn't he stop when they challenged him?
  • why do you need to shoot to kill when you've got someone immobilised on the ground?
