This is the problem, they are there to defend us from terrorism…there’s this tiny voice ‘what if they were right?’ and didn’t follow up.

A horrendous business nevertheless

Santa better beware when he visits London or some Dick at the Met might have him shot in the head dead…
I can just imagine the Met mouthing off….
” How were we to know he was Father fucking Christmas? He looked like a terrorist to us…he was positively identified as carrying a suspicious looking rucksack on his back….and to top it off he had a beard…the bastard deserved to die…”

The high ranking and highly respected pathologist who carried out the post mortem on Jean Charles De Menezes had to seek medical assistance for himself after the examination. The seven bullets and the angles of entry, compared to the information he was given, disturbed him more than a little.

I do not know if he has carried out any Home Office requested pathology since that incident…I rather think not. That speaks volumes to me and perhaps the family legal team should be asking the right questions of that particularly terribly saddened man.

The police fuck up and then compound their fuck up by telling us how they did not fuck up even though the evidence - an innocent man, dead - is plain to see…

Check the facts.
Hussain Osman lived with his wife and children just 200 yards from Stockwell Station at 40 Blair House, the home address given at his trial. He held joint membership of the South Bank Gym Club with his friend Abdi Omar using Omar’s home address, 21 Scotia Road, Tulse Hill. Omar said to the Guardian in August ‘05, “I knew him at the gym, although not well, not 100%”. Then we never hear from Omar again, he is not called to give evidence at the inquest.
So, Hussain Osman had joint membership of the gym club, but was he ever living at or was he ever present at 21 Scotia Road? There is not one scrap of hard evidence to show that he ever was.

Cressida Dick and Ian Blair as police chiefs seem to be just puffed-up PR men and women with no consciences and no real competence at their jobs.

If they hadn’t had such incompetently run operations Jean Charles would not have been killed on Dick’s orders. She’s should be charged with manslaughter and both she and Blair should have either resigned or been sacked.

If Jean Charles De Menezes had been a suicide bomber (and it should have been clear there was zero reason to think he was) they’d have allowed the attack through incompetence - because they let him get on a bus, then into a tube train before they took his life.

So they not only took the life of an innocent person but are still risking peoples’ lives as a result of it. They give no protection against suicide bombers - just an added threat to the lives of innocent people.

It’s sickened me to hear Ken Livingstone (who i previously respected) defending these people. compulsive liars.

If someone were to put a bullet through the head of said dick head and say - whoops, sorry, thought you were a pigeon - I am sure that would be a perfectly acceptable excuse and a colleague of said Dick Head would then slap the person on the back and say - ‘don’t worry mate, could have happened to anyone, easy mistake to make.’

dairy, i remember thinking that too at the time,why let someone you suspect of being walking bomb go into the subway, surely it would have been far easier and safer to detain him on the street.

what I don’t really understand about this shooting is - why didn’t they stop him earlier, when he left the flats? especially if they weren’t 110% sure of his identity? why did they let him go all the way to the tube and get on a train before blasting his head open?
why didn’t just one of those operatives raise a doubt about it…?
if Crassida Dickhead doesn’t think there’s something wrong there…

As I mentioned in a much earlier post, the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes at Stockwell tube station was an almighty cock-up.The police continuing to make a long list of excuses for their incompetence.This man was NOT a terrorist and to be shot with 8 bullets was a diabolical mistake.
How can the public have real confidence and faith in the police force when they seem more concerned with protecting themselves, than admitting their mistakes and telling the truth?
The Hillsborough football disaster was another major tragedy where good people lives were lost and yet, the justice system in my opinion failed again to give real justice to all the families involved.

I’m not touching that one with a bargepole, DD.

And I’m pretty sure that dairy’s scepticism about Blair’s departure is well founded; we will have to wait and see the outcome of the enquiries into those dodgy looking contracts…

Ian Blair’s “guidance” didn’t seem to make any difference to whether JCM got shot or not…. I question the real reason behind the timing of his resignation….

Wise move.

May be a good idea to steer clear of London altogether, since without the guidance of Sir Ian Blair we might have police officers who see nothing wrong with shooting an innocent man…

So… death because of guilt by association eh?
I shall have to be careful, one of my cousins is a criminal, a school friend went on to be a convicted rapist, and I used to work with a pedophile (I didn’t know at the time).
Having associated with such a collection of sleazeballs I shall have to remember not to go on the tube during my next visit to London.

If you are asking me did we do anything wrong or unreasonable then I don’t think we did.”

How the feck does she get away with this statement?
