really fucking dead brazilian

the Guardian attempts to explain why innocent brazilian was murdered
"He wasn't wearing a heavy jacket. He used his card to get into the station. He didn't vault the barrier. And now police say there are no CCTV pictures to reveal the truth.
[snip]
Evidence of this hold-up should have been provided by CCTV footage from dozens of cameras covering the Stockwell ticket hall, escalators, platforms and train carriages.
However, police now say most of the cameras were not working.
[snip]
Hundreds of hours of CCTV were made available and sifted through in record time in order to release images to the public. CCTV footage had also proved crucial in identifying the suspects in the 7 July attacks. The Observer can reveal that police even found footage from train carriages showing the bombers at the moment of detonation.
[snip]
De Menezes was followed for five minutes as he walked to a bus stop, He then boarded a No 2 bus, along with several plainclothes officers who, again, were unarmed.
[snip]
The surveillance team were under strict instructions not to allow de Menezes to board a train and a rapid decision was made to arrest him using armed officers, a procedure known as a 'hard stop'. But because the officers in the surveillance team had no weapons, they had to change places with officers from SO19, the Metropolitan Police firearms unit.

By the time the armed officers arrived, De Menezes was already inside, using his Oyster card to enter the station and casually walking down the escalator towards the platform.
[snip]
By studying footage of attacks and even interviewing failed bombers, senior Met officers drew up a list of 'precursor signals' that generally occur shortly before detonation of a device. Most have not been made public but include the potential bomber looking 'detached' from his or her surroundings and becoming introspective.
[snip]
In fact, by the time the armed officers arrived de Menezes was already heading down towards the train. It now seems certain that the man seen vaulting the barrier was one of the armed officers in hot pursuit.
go read it. its so depressing. even when they try to do a mea culpa they still lie through their teeth. its fucking sickening.

the cctvs failed again. "dozens" of them? please.

never look introspective.

never trust your life to sub-average murderers who might be called upon to ascertain whether you look introspective or not.

do we really think that people staking out the apartment of the 7/7 bombers are gonna be unarmed?

will we ever see the "footage from train carriages showing the bombers at the moment of detonation."?

why is there no explanation of why there were 8 shots, rather than the protocol-demanded two shots?

i feel sick

Hi Lukery,

From a Channel 4 news report tonight, the following information was gleaned.

- Someone was 'preoccupied' with taking a piss at the time (and is now taking the piss) so there was no positive ID and once again, conveniently for the guilty, no footage.

- de Menezes managed to board the train and get a seat before he was bundled and bear-hugged by once officer.

- As he was held 10 shots were fired by two officers.

- Of the 10 shots that were fired, 7 were fired by one shooter and 3 by another. 8 of the bullets hit the innocent target.

- C4 News said that Flat 21 was under surveillance and de Menezes lived in Flat 17.

- 'Mongolian eyes' made de Menezes a target in the absence of a positive ID.

All authorities are refusing to comment on the lies that they have issued thus far. So much for accountability.

A cascade of blatant lies from the very top down -- from Metropolitan Police Commissioner Ian Blair to the trigger-happy plain-clothes CO19/SO19 officers -- have now been exposed as a cover-up of an horrific catalogue of failures that led to the police-murder of an innocent Brazilian man at Stockwell Underground station.

Full details of the lies and cover-up.
