more dead brazilian lies

here's one version:

"A surveillance officer on the train - Hotel 3 - said in a statement to the IPCC he put his foot against the carriage doors to stop them closing as firearms officers ran onto the platform.

He added: "I shouted 'he's here'. and indicated to the male in the denim jacket with my right hand. I then heard shouting which included the word 'police' and turned to face the male in the denim jacket."

Jean Charles stood up and walked towards him. The officer said he grabbed him by wrapping both arms around his torso." (link)

thats seems pretty clear. full of specific quotes. the word 'police' seems to suggest that Dead Brazilian got himself a warning, right? this is the same version we see reported in most of the papers.

now read this:

“At this stage his body seemed straight and he was not in a natural sitting position,” recorded Hotel Three. “I then heard a gunshot very close to my ear and was dragged away onto the floor of the carriage. I shouted ‘police’ and held up my hands. I was then dragged out of the carriage by an armed officer who appeared to be carrying a long-barrelled weapon. I heard several gunshots as I was being dragged out of the carriage.” (link)

in all the articles ive read, ive never actually seen the "which included the word 'police'" quote with the "I shouted ‘police’ " quote in the same article. in the first case, he seems to be exonerating the police, in the second case, he is trying to save his ass. i havent seen the original documents, so im not sure if both quotes are accurate - but i wouldnt be surprised if the two have been conflated - which would point to the continuance of the now month-long conspiracy, although the formula for the pattern hasnt changed - in fact, its remarkably consistent.
