I'm not even sure why an IPPC investigation was needed, it was plain to anyone watching the TV that the Police were lying about the shooting, still nice to see them chastised.

Odd that none of his senior officers thought that Iain Blair might like to know it was a big mistake till the morning after the shooting.

We've already had an inquiry which decided no copper was to be charged for the killing of de Menezes. And no heads will roll for the lies and deception peddled by the coppers either.
All is well with London's Finest innit
Nice to see you repeating the very lie that the Police have gotten into trouble for saying. He didnt run, he wasnt challenged, he wasnt wearing a heavy coat, he didnt jump the barriers, there were no wires coming out of his bag (he didnt have one) - in fact the only reason he was identified as the suspect at all was his 'mongolian eyes'.
he didn't challenge armed police apparantly they called him and he went up to them and they put him on floor and shot him
he was only followed cause he lived in the same block of flats as an actual suspect
he weren't wearing heavy clothes
he has his brazilian ID stuff on his dead body
the person jumping over the barrier an eyewitness saw was a plain clothed police officer
this is such a cover up it's unbelievable
Not true.
Amazing isn't it?
What are the media focussed on? The fact that Ian Blair wasn't told and that someone lied to the public.
But hang on a second, isn't the bigger issue here that they shot smoeone who wasn't running etc and in fact had given no indication that he might be a terrorist.
The lying is Phase Two, without the fact that they had coldly murdered an innocent man, the lies wouldn't even have mattered.
I'm also very concerned that the Police killing someone on a busy Tube, even a terrorist, isn't considered high enough priority for Ian Blair to take charge personally...
My only issue with the police is that they lied to try and cover their backs. There is no way something like this could have been kept quiet, and the police were never going to win by lying about the incident.
The police should have held their hands up, and admmited their mistake immedialty after shooting Jean Charles.

To be fair the shooting is being dealt with seperately - the IPPC report was concentrating on whether the police lied.
They are two issues - you could find that the police acted correctly with the information they hand on hand up to the second the bullet was fired and then lied afterwards.
And if they'd done their job properly an innocent man wouldn't have been murdered.
Look at the treatment of the IPCC whistleblower and the ITN journalist who broke the story (here and hwere, and suddenly the whole thing become a lot more sinister than a simple Met fuck-up.
The simple fact of the matter is that senior Metropolitan Police officers murdered an innocent man, lied about it, slandered the victim, and then used vague laws to bully, harrass and intimidate people prepared to stand up to them.
If that doesn't scare the living shit out of you, nothing will. It's the sort of thing that happens in Bongo Bongo Land, not in the UK.
Blair should be in a prison cell, the officers who shot the man should be in a prison cell, and Hayman (who's no stranger to fuck-ups resulting in death and injury to innocent people) should be swinging from a rope.
:yes:
For the record, I think the police had a horrendously difficult call to make. In this case, they got it wrong. They should have been completely upfront about it adn admitted their dreadful mistake. Instead, the truth had to be dragged out of them. That is why I'm angry about it.
Of course he's saying that the police give harsher treatment to people who aren't white (or at least of middle eastern origin in this case). Sounds like a pretty accurate statement to me.
What do you mean by "a heorrendously difficult call" to make? He was unarmed, he didn't threated the public at all, and he was white as well.
the armed police didnt know this, they had a call to make and they made it, all this is going to do is make the police second guess themselfs and i dont think thats something we need armed police to do
Did they also need to smear de Menezes in the press afterwards?
Wouldn't be the first time.
But the operation was a disaster, the officer who should have been checking ID's were off having a piss, they let him get on a bus, someone gave the call for him to be shot dead on no evidence and to top it all off they lied about it and slandered the victim.
Dear God NO!
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day...
I suppose so, I'm just deeply frightened that this is the start of a trend, maybe the Mail isnt all that bad?
