...individual officers, that is? The police said he jumped over the barrier, but paid for his ticket with a credit card and walked through. He was also accused of running away from them...he didn't. They claimed to have shouted warnings when they didn't.
It made me realise the police, like your normal Joe Bloggs will tell all sorts of lies, realising the truth in this particular case would finish them off.
Could be the reason why he was shot so many times was to make sure he would never 'awaken' to indeed tell the truth?

Welcome to YA, aurallaura...do not understand your answer. However, he wasn't murdered in Brasil, but England. I'm just wondering if the people who knowingly rushed to the media to cast 'the first stone' realised witnesses on the underground train, and at Stockwell station, despite being terrified by the actions of the so-called CO19 officials saw no suspicious actions by him. like it or not, Laurareal, the media was being herded into printing what they thought was true by member(s) of The (a safer London) Metropolitan police. It is argued Muslim terrorists were blamed for Mr. de Menezes death...a moot point, methinks, but were the same followers of the Koran to blame for stirring up the populist press with untrue stories about how de Menezes acted toward them? As said...guardians and officials - be they from here or elsewhere in the world will immediatly get in touch with the populist press to cover tracks. The name of such dears...bent cops.

Clive...realise your concern - but looks like I'll have to ask on of those cliched questions (mea culpa!) not just to you, but the others who thought it would be good to, as it were tell me about 'the other side of the story'...what if the shot wasn't a 'dodgy looking' young man, but someone close in your family.
Is that not our irk (in th UK) - we all love moralistic stories...but as long as it doesn't involve us.

Damn...what is it about some Liverpudlians? Are you really Sambotheblammo in disguise - so...your argument is that he was an 'illegal immigrant' - as his 'running away from our lawful guardians' was found to be false.
Talking of 'illegal immigrants', I suspect you would be one of the first to squeal if some UK criminal runaway on the Costa del Sol (of which there are plenty) was found and shot by Spanish policia.

Most likely the officials will not be taken to court for their false statements unless enough people who know the truth speak up and complain.
What you need to remember is that a world govt. is being formed and one of several things that must be done is convince the general public that it is in constant danger.
When the police screw up,they will say whatever they want until they get caught in a lie or two and then try to change their story.

Makes me wonder why a simple accident should be covered up. Blunder after blunder, lies upon lies, now they are covering up for SIR Ian Blair, incompetence is not an excuse. Will the public ever know the truth ? Is this English Justice ? I am sure the word HONOUR is not in SIR Blair's dictionary.

Of course not.
The present Government has so far done a good "white wash"of the whole sordid affair; with the help of the chief of the Met.police force;whom they repaid by ensuring he retained his job.
Why should they "rock the boat" at this late date?
They have the newer problem of the "lost discs" and Mr Darling to deal with;and deciding how to present this as nothing of concern to the general public.
They have started by stating that they are probably on government property!

It would appear to have been a tragic accident as the Officers were given inaccurate information, but Sir Ian Blair must take the blame. I can't beleive that he wasn't aware of what had happened when he appeared on tv.

The man was not innocent he was here illegally had he not been so he would not have tried to run away and would not have got shot.
I understand that shanty town children are known to be shot by Police in certain South American countries because they count as vermin. I think Brazil may be one of them. A genuine error was made fortunately it is not illegal to lie to the press. However it is to lie to the Court.

They should all be brought to justice, starting with Sir Ian Blair. An innocent man, shot dead in London all in the name of the war on terror and they tried to cover it up. Shameful!

The matter is closed and done. Let's just get on shall we! For whatever reason, de Menezes got shot dead. No words will ever change that. It's done.
de Menezes RIP.
