Not his death, I remember that, but Morrissey talking about it.

Now here's another thing - I remember, after it happened, reports that De Menezes had run from the police; they weren't wearing clothing that identified them as officers and he ran, they chased him down and eventually shot him. Aram doesn't remember this. Is this just part of those "contradictory" statements that came out shortly after his killing?

I just read his wiki article. How entirely heartbreaking! And how wonderful of Moz to remember him.
I didn't know that Met police there carry guns?!
