I don't think its necessary to develop conspiracy theories to explain the police shooting a Brazilian for using the subway. I have found you can never go wrong underestimating the intelligence and common sense of police officers. No matter how stupid and misinformed you think they are, they are in actual fact even more so. The culture of police forces, weeds out the competent and the intelligent. A relative who spent a career working with the NSA, CIA and the Pentagon always said he didn't believe in conspiracy theories. Not because the people he met at these agencies were not morally compromised enough to develop evil schemes, because they were in fact people capable of great depravity. But he said these were people who, in spite of their often great intelligence, could not successfully plan a picnic. He says their plans always became dust due to plainly obvious flaws. Obvious to everyone but they and their similarly cloistered friends and associates. .
