Shoot to Kill Policy-Right or Wrong?

[Neish]

A report leaked today reports the police officer watching the flat was releaving himself when DeMenezes left the block of flats, and said he couldn't identify the suspect another plain clothes officer followed DeMenezes untill he got on the bus but he couldn't confirm or deny the idenity of the suspect.

Some one needs to be held to account for this cover-up

According to the Observer, he wasn't wearing a big coat, he didn't jump over any barrier, he used his railcard to get into the station etc etc. He was murdered plain and simple.

Shoot to kill still right?

From The Guardian....

It has now emerged that Mr de Menezes:

· was never properly identified because a police officer was relieving himself at the very moment he was leaving his home;

· was unaware he was being followed;

· was not wearing a heavy padded jacket or belt as reports at the time suggested;

· never ran from the police;

· and did not jump the ticket barrier.

But the revelation that will prove most uncomfortable for Scotland Yard was that the 27-year-old electrician had already been restrained by a surveillance officer before being shot seven times in the head and once in the shoulder

Merged Neish/WAR thread with the original thread...

It's funny but the day it was on the news that he wasn't a terrorist, I said to Mrs Drinkfeckarse that the British would put a lot of spin on this to try and save a bit of face. All this " he had a padded jacket etc" on sounded a bit fishy at the time and I'm delighted they have been exposed again to be the corrupt lying toerags that they are.

The Commissioner Iain Blair should resign after this but no doubt he has been locked in talks with the Home Secretary about how to avoid a public outcry.

Helped by sky news no doubt...

The more I hear about it, the more it stinks.
Eleven shots fired at the mans head ffs, Eleven. There was a clip emptied into his face.
Seven head shots, one shoulder and three missed.

Not 100% but the impression i got was that 2 police officers shoty off 11 bullets between them ? Might be wrong but thats the way it was told on ITV news this morning.

The thing is you are totaly 100% correct "it stinks" another farce from the police force.

suicide bombers dont have back packs, they typically have bilky looking jackets AFIK.

I feel sorry for the guy, but in the circumstances, he should really have known better

What do you mean he should of known better you never ran to catch a bus or train?

According to this report this is all he done,apart from living in the same block of flats as a suspected terrorist(which he probably was unaware off)
