Does getting shot in the head 7x contravine health & safety?

What's ridiculous is that Mr. Menezes was blamed by the defence because he was allegedly in the country illegally and lived in the same apartment block as one of the failed bombers.

The Police needed to find a scapegoat for their incompetance and they found one, a young single brazilian. He wasn't confronted - until 2 seconds before his death, he wasn't searched to determine he HAD a bomb - until after he was shot. Seems like "shoot first ask questions later". The licence to kill exists.

Well the government have been tough on one immigrant and rather lax on the other 999,999.

just think of the damage to the officers ears from all that noise ... course it's a health and safety issue.

They'll have been wearing electronic ear defenders.

Yes, that'd block out the shouts of "Don't shoot!!! I'm innocent" in a Brazillian Portuguese stylee.

Odd that they didn't stop-and-search him.

Ms. Dick at fault?

Would you have stopped and searched him if you believed he was a jihadi bent on receiving his packet of raisins in valhaala?

Considering the amount of lies that came out in the press with the help of the police no one knows what the police believed.

As far was we are aware they just saw a brown face, weren't sure who he was so followed him for ages and panicked when he got on the tube so shot him. Luckily for them the guy was Brazilian otherwise they would have been dealing with a riot.

no next...

[Lambros]

Does anyone know what happened to the guy the police were supposed to be following when they mistakenly identified de Menezes as him?
