Do you really think an official would say anything like that after an incident like that? They have the whole worlds eyeballs on them.

Give me a break..if they even uttered that in ear shot of a reporter - let alone in an offical statement - it would be the biggest story in every paper today, tomorrow and this year. I am sure you don't know who Stephen Lawrence was but I live near where he was killed and most Londoners can tell you the effect his death had on the police force when it comes to race relations in this city. There is NO WAY they said that.

They have to go hard for the bastards that are doing this shit - innocent people have already and will continue to die ... fact ... get used to it.

They let him reach the metro station and enter, if you chase a bomber you prevent him to go there. Two weeks after the 1st bombings and have made like no arrests, already murdered an innocent guy. It's gonna be a fun ride.

Well, the original bombers are dead and they have arrested others in connection with it.

London police admit making deadly error
Brazilian electrician was mistaken for a bombing suspect

Glenn Frankel, Washington Post

Sunday, July 24, 2005

London -- The man shot dead by police in front of terrified passengers inside a subway car Friday was an innocent Brazilian bystander mistaken for a suspect in the abortive bomb attacks the day before, police officials acknowledged Saturday.

The officials said the man, identified as Jean Charles de Menezes, 27, emerged from the same South London apartment complex as a prime suspect in the failed bombings of three subway trains and a double-decker bus. Armed plainclothes officers followed him to a nearby subway station.

They gave chase fearing the man was preparing to attack a train, police officials said. The officers pushed him to the floor of the car and shot him five times in the head at close range, according to witnesses, who gave searing accounts broadcast on television and radio.

The mistaken shooting set off a new wave of alarm and criticism from leaders of Britain's minority Muslim community, who expressed concern that police are singling out men with certain physical characteristics or ethnic backgrounds in their pursuit of the would-be bombers, believed to be Muslims of South Asian or North African origin.

"We accept that police are under tremendous pressure to apprehend the criminals attempting to cause carnage, but we believe this incident makes it vital that the authorities explain and follow the rules of engagement to ensure innocent people are not caught up and killed due to overzealous policing," said Inayat Bunglawala, spokesman for the Muslim Council of Britain.

A police statement expressed regrets for the killing and added: "For somebody to lose their life in such circumstances is a tragedy." Officials said the incident would receive a full investigation but declined to comment further.

continue to spin .....

BTW, I am happy that now "the world is a much safer place .... "

Shoot-to-kill policies should never exist. It is a violation of due process.

at least here in the la the cops just beat your ass for a little while and kick you a bit.

thats pretty bad when police officers are so trigger happy with fear they begin shooting people they are tracking for no reason at all other than skin color.
