Read it and weep.

It's particularly infuriating to read the following paragraph. Bear in mind, seeing as Brixton tube station (his first attempt to board the tube) was closed and he may have been on his way to work or a meeting etc, the behaviours described below would be perfectly normal in that situation

| Ms Dick explained the factors behind her eventual order that the subject be stopped. The first factor was the surveillance team's repeated belief that the man was the terrorist suspect they were hunting. She added: "Secondly, from the behaviours described to me - nervousness, agitation, sending text messages, [using] the telephone, getting on and off the bus, all added to the picture of someone potentially intent on causing an explosion." |
What a tragic, bungled mess. One is reminded of the British army f#cking ip ridiculously in Singapore during WW2.
What a bunch of clowns. And to think of all the training they get and all the modern eqpt they have available.
Poor, poor De Menzes familly.
What a sickening tragedy. |

It's sad, it could have been avoided if an officer had not gone to spend a penny. Over reactionary police in a time of public panic. A case of false identity ending in an execution. Followed by false accusations by police that Jean Charles de Menezes was running from offices when instead they held him down and fired shots into his head. |

Man Wants His Video Of Vancouver Airport Taser Attack
Made Public 
VANCOUVER (CBC) - A man who videotaped the last moments of a Polish immigrant being Tasered at Vancouver International Airport said he heard a Mountie ask, "Should I Taser him?" as soon as police arrived at the scene.
Paul Pritchard said he still intends to go to court Friday to demand RCMP return his video recording of the incident - although a police spokesman said late afternoon the tape will be returned to him in a matter of days.
Robert Dziekanski, 40, died on Oct. 14, hours after he arrived at Vancouver International Airport. He was on his way to Kamloops to live with his mother in the B.C. Interior.
RCMP Cpl. Dale Carr admitted on Thursday investigators kept the video longer than they anticipated but he said the purpose was to "protect the integrity" of the police investigation
