Where does it say they ever told him to freeze or had any reason to tell him to freeze?
"``He was not carrying a rucksack. He simply had a denim jacket,'' Wistrich told British Broadcasting Corp. TV. ``Was it necessary to shoot him dead as opposed to trying to confront him at an earlier stage? There was no indication he was about to blow himself up at all.''
ITV News said that, according to the IPCC report, a member of the team that tailed Menezes into the subway train said he heard shouting including the word ``police'' before turning to face the Brazilian.
``He immediately stood up and advanced towards me and the ... officers ... I grabbed the male in the denim jacket by wrapping both my arms around his torso, pinning his arms to his side,'' the unidentified officer was quoted as saying.
``I then pushed him back on to the seat where he had been previously sitting. ... I then heard a gun shot very close to my left ear and was dragged away onto therst shot from a handgun at the Brazilian's head from 12 inches away, according to the report obtained by ITV.
The report also said that, while Menezes was shot eight times, three other bullets were fired but missed."
