In my opinion the finger on the trigger decides a persons fate. Again we see Sir Ian Blair walk away from accepting any responsibility and the system working against the people.

I do feel safer knowing the police are back on the street as a matter of fact. I feel a lot safer knowing that someone is watching my back and doing a very high stress job with nil support from the public and relentless criticism when getting things wrong... in Brazil thousands of homeless children are massacred every year by "police" so they are hardly in a position to point fingers at us!!! It is a tragedy that an innocent person died and I have utmost sympathy but rather one than hundreds of people on their way to work as happened 7/7 last year.

Some people are always ready to condemn the police and the military when things go wrong but they invariably have little understanding of the problems because they have no relevant personal experience. Every time, for example, a person is shot whilst waving a replica gun at the police we hear the same chorus of condemnation. To those people who condmen the police over such shootings and the De Menezes case I pose the question: are they certain they would behave differently when split-second decisions are required in what appear to be life-and-death situations? An attempt to prosecute such officers would lead to others rightly refusing to carry weapons on the grounds that they would either be facing a real life-and-death situation or would be facing an apparent threat in which they would automatically be prosecuted for murder or manslaughter, even if a genuine mistake were made in a split-second decision. No sane person would be willing to take part in such operations.

It was a very unfortunate incident but I would rather be safe then sorry.
There is always an 'acceptable' number of casualties in war from 'friendly' fire.
Therefore the war on terror will have more.
Would you rather more someone was let go and there was another 7/11, etc?

Be fair. He looked as dodgy as ****. What with not doing anything remotely terroristy, (is that a word?) going about his daily business and basically going to work. Next time I'm London, I'll be the one shouting 'I'm a terrorist' cos I know full well the trigger happy wankers'll just shoot some other poor bastard.

Ok they made a mistake, condolances to his family.
What if they had the right guy with explosives or virus attached to him.
Would you rather wait to see if he is going to blow you and hundreds of innocents to kingdom come or stop him before he had the chance

they wouldn't have been walking if he was white. i definitely dont feel safe to even come to England, knowing that the colour of your skin and your race determines how much respect you will get: the darker you are, the more you are respected from the guns point of view.

Yes I know now that Brazillian 'Terrorists' will be taken out as soon as they show their swarthy faces. I am most reassured.
