I don't understand the Asian bit. News tonight says the 27 year old victim
was a Brazilian who did not speak English and probably did not understand the
Police directives to stop or be shot.

That's an interesting statement by the police; I don't see how they
can know. (The shooting was a result of the guidelines in The
Guardian piece -- 1 below -- but doesn't, I'd say, follow them.)
I am slightly surprised they said it so categorically so fast, as it
heightens the possibility that the police
involved will face murder charges.

You say "gook", Andreas. We say "Asian".
