Ah i see what you mean now....only problem is that those same intel officers ARE police or working for the police whether originaly from SAS or MI5/6.
thnaks christ you werent on that jury then mate. I guess the judge made the summing up he did for the benefit of people like you who may have been on the jury. What the cops do is what they do, not a single one who wears the uniform does so without choice. They get paid to do a job they chose to do so dont go crying for them on that account.
The simple fact is that the entire operation was a mess and an innocent man died because of it. If it wasnt for that very conciencous(sp) person who worked at the IPCC leaking that photo early on then none of us may ever have known an innocent man was killed. the cops could have covered it up very nicely thank you.
The whole investigation stinks a bit too since Metroline say there was nothign wrong wih the CCTV from that carriage and the cops who took it for evidence knew that too...so how come now its faound to be faulty and cant be played in court. What does it show that is so incriminating to the police they had to destroy it i wonder?
i hope the De Menezes family can now petition the European criminal court to allow a criminal trial of the officers based on a guilty verdict under the health and Safety trial. Afer all if they were guilty of not looking out for him or the general public then those who made the flawed decisions should be accountable to the law since a man was unlawfully killed.

Spidey makes many a valid point. Particularly that the police are there to protect the general public. Juan Charles de Menezes never did anything to remove himself from being classified as anything else. Therefore it was a member of the general public that was slain. It could have been you, are you still as charitable with your forgiveness towards the police in this case?
