Re: Man shot on London Tube not connected to bombing

Question is not if the guy killed was a non-white or a Muslim (not written on his face), but at such a troubling hour he panicked and behaved improperly.

The London police has accepted the mistake in three days after the incident took place.....how does behave the police of all countries of accusers gathered here at such mistake?

shot, killed or mu------d:confused:

Re: Man shot on London Tube not connected to bombing

the poor guy actually exited from a “block of flats” as Sky News showed and as Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair admitted when questioned… a block of flats that probably houses dozens of homes and even more residents…

why was this guy shot through the torso (in addition to the head) if it was suspected he might be wearing a bomb?

Re: Man shot on London Tube not connected to bombing

and why was he allowed to get onto a bus on the way to the subway station?

**Mr Pereira said police had watched his cousin get on a bus. They followed him for about 500 metres.

"If he had a bomb he could have blown it off on the bus. Now what they (police) have shown is that they are incapable and stupid.**

Re: Man shot on London Tube not connected to bombing

I do not understand people mourning here who usually justify killings everyday.

UK police defend shoot-to-kill in hunt for bombers

British police on Sunday defended a policy of shooting to kill suspected suicide bombers despite shooting dead a Brazilian electrician by mistake in the hunt for the men behind attacks on London.

Re: Man shot on London Tube not connected to bombing

Shooting victim had expired visa

The Brazilian man shot dead by police in south London, who mistook him for a suicide bomber, had been in Britain on an out-of-date visa, officials say.

Jean Charles de Menezes, 27, may have run from police because of his visa situation, BBC correspondents say.

Re: Man shot on London Tube not connected to bombing

The bottom of the article points out that the money he was making by working illegally was paying for his father’s cancer treatment in Brazil.

So when challenged by the police, he would have thought they were after him to deport him, which would lead to his family not being able to afford to save his father’s life.

And now his family’s situation is even worse…

Re: Man shot on London Tube not connected to bombing

yes, that’s what the article itself suggests… “Jean Charles de Menezes, 27, may have run from police because of his visa situation”

Re: Man shot on London Tube not connected to bombing

Because we are thinking what if that poor brown guy had been some innocent Indian called Anjjan, or maybe Talwar…or maybe Pinstripe Danda :frowning:

Re: Man shot on London Tube not connected to bombing

I am sure a lawsuit or 2 will put that wrong to right even though there son can never be bought back.

Final minutes of the innocent man mistaken for a terrorist

By Daniel McGrory

IT TOOK 26 minutes for Jean Charles de Menezes to get from his flat in Tulse Hill to the entrance of Stockwell Tube station.

In that time the 27-year-old electrician did not appear to realise that a team of 30 Scotland Yard officers were following his every move.

… As he waited at a nearby bus stop the reconnaissance team sought urgent instructions on whether to challenge him right away or let him board a bus. They were worried about the dark, bulky, padded jacket he had zipped up on such a muggy morning.

The decision was taken to let him go, in the hope that he might lead his shadows to at least one of the bombers.

… Another family member said that he had recently been attacked and robbed in that area by a gang of young white men and thought the plain-clothes officers were muggers.

By far the most controversial claim comes from a number of witnesses who have cast doubt on police statements that they shouted a warning or identified themselves to the suspect before opening fire.

Lee Ruston, 32, who was on the platform, said that he did not hear any of the three shout “police” or anything like it. Mr Ruston, a construction company director, said that he saw two of the officers put on their blue baseball caps marked “police” but that the frightened electrician could not have seen that happen because he had his back to the officers and was running with his head down.

Mr Ruston remembers one of the Scotland Yard team screaming into a radio as they were running. Mr Ruston thought the man that they were chasing “looked Asian” as he tumbled on to a waiting Northern Line train.

Less than a minute later Mr Menezes was pinned to the floor of the carriage by two men while a third officer fired five shots into the base of his skull.

Again, Mr Ruston says that no verbal warning was given.

We all will be more safe if you oppsoe militancy in your own community.

Re: Man shot on London Tube not connected to bombing

No we will be safe when the West stops slaughtering muslims and using double standards.

Righteousness of the Faith…

Re: Man shot on London Tube not connected to bombing

And righteousness of the faith will not be realized until your own double standards are acknowledged since Muslims slaughter more Muslims than do non-Muslims.
