I think it is clear from your post that you have absolutely no idea what transpired that lead to the death of that Brazilian guy. Those policemen didn't have some spontaneous impulse and blow him away. They were trailing him because he looked and acted very suspicious. According to British police policy, they had to have had direct permission to shoot to kill, either in a planning session prior to the incident or over their radios.

Now, at this point, no one knows whether they were given shoot to kill orders by their superior. But if they were given those orders and all policies and procedures were followed, then no one can be blamed for their actions. If they did open fire spontaneously, as you claim, then they should all lose their badges and be open to civil and criminal prosecution. End of story.
