Family to London police: You're all bloody liars!






The family of slain Jean Charles de Menezes is really pissed off. So much so that they want the top bobby to resign. Depending on which version you believe, the cops thought he was a suicide bomber in the days after the attacks in the tube and on the bus, so when they saw the Brazilian homeboy, they thought he looked "suspicious" and then shot him SEVEN TIMES IN THE HEAD. Because if they only shot him twice in the head, they wouldn't be so sure if he was dead right?

If the cops thought he was about to detonate a bomb then it's wrong to second-guess their shoot decision now; they killed one man to save a train car full of others.

Nobody's happy about what happened to Menezes and everybody admits it was a mistake. The deed can't be undone. Menezes' family should be compensated for his loss, they should be apologized to, and then everyone should put it behind them.

but shooting him seven times seems a little excessive, doesn't it?

Sterling, the problem lies in the fact that the cops didn't have proper systems set up to be evaluating who might be a bomber.

The fact that the cops seem to have lied about him wearing a heavy coat after his death makes them look very guilty...

i think the problem lies in the fact that, they should have shot him eight times.
