It's funny how top brass seem to be totally immune in this situation, how everything hinges on the 'decision' the gunmen made. Like even pulling a weapon on a packed tube station would ever be something they could do without high authorisation. When 7 bullets are fired into a man's head they have not been fired by anyone who was remotely considering any other option. |

Jury return 'open verdict' at inquest
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7764882.stm
Quote: | The jury at the inquest into the mistaken shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes has returned an open verdict.
Two officers shot Mr de Menezes seven times as he sat on a train at Stockwell Underground station, south London. They thought he was a suicide bomber.
The jury returned the verdict after deliberating for a week.
The family had earlier withdrawn from the inquest after the coroner said the jury could not return a verdict of unlawful death at the hands of police.

This is the only question that matters -
"Was the killing lawful?"
"No ** *** *******""
Wright has censored the end of the sentence but that's not going to wash with the public.
"No it was unlawful" - Everyone can hear it loud and clear whether he lets them say it or not.
Logic speaks louder than words. _________________

There was a reason the Coroner prohibited an "unlawful killing" verdict regarding the death of Jean Charles
Even the Justice 4 Jean aren't tickling this out at the moment
The Met would undoubtedly have wished for a couple of CO19 officers go up against the wall for this murder
It would have taken a whole lot of heat off the organisation - individual responsiblity or irresponsibility - and at the least misinterpretation of the abominable since-promoted Common Purpose Cressida Dick's orders
The problem is eleven bullets were fired at close range at Jean Charles, one missing, three in the shoulder, and seven in the head
The munitions used were dum dum bullets which splay out on entry into the body and cause maximum damage to the tissue leaving a very large exit hole. Jean Charles head must have been totally obliterated.
Dum dum bullets should not have been available to CO19 armed cops, being illegal for use in mainland UK cop operations
Available, however to some units of the military
The Special Reconnaissance Regimentt was operating on this day. The guy surveilling the flats shared by Jean Charles and chapati-flour bomber Osman was allegedly taking a leak when Jean left his flat , was SRR
It's reasonable to assume that the SRR military, who share their headquarters with the SAS, were fully involved in the operation
It is noticeable that the alleged perpetrators of the de Menezes murder were full anonymous for the inquest
Could it be that these guys were not in fact police officers but army black operatives?
And so the ban on 'unlawful killing'
Seems like a deliberate assassination rather than a horrible mistake
These same SRR type of folk were most likely driving that vehicle loaded with explosives towards Basra back in 05 dressed as Arabs and stopped by an Iraqi roadblock, who were jailed in the Basra prison and freed by British tanks bashing down the walls
Jean Charles de Menezes was most likely not killed by Israeli trained police but by a faction of the UK military operating illegally

UK police state : Mezenes assassins back on the streets
Several counts of perjury and those guys are back on frontline duty.
It seems in UK police are outside the laws. This is the perfect definition of a police state
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2008/dec/13/jean-charles-de-menezes-polic e-verdict
The real mistake was to cover it up ~ it seems to me that the police operatives lied in hope to cover themselves, now thats totally unacceptable and it should be treated as obstruction of justice. |

It must logically follow the jury didn't believe the police and that the killers of JCM lied under oath, perjury? |

paul wright wrote: | Dum dum bullets should not have been available to CO19 armed cops, being illegal for use in mainland UK cop operations | No they're not. Armed British police routinely use expanding ammunition, the only difference being that it's usually semi-jacketed soft-points, rather than the jacketed hollow-points used under Kratos (because they expand more rapidly when fired at close range).
See Stockwell 1 section 16 ("Ballistics"), specifically paragraph 16.8:
"The Assistant Commissioner referred to recent legal advice obtained
from Edmund LAWSON QC. The Metropolitan Police Service has
waived legal privilege and disclosed this advice. Mr LAWSON concludes
that in his opinion the authorisation of the use of 9mm 124 grain hollow
point bullets lay within the power of the Metropolitan Police or its
delegate. He adds that the use of this ammunition in a war situation
would prima facie offend against the Hague Convention, which does not
apply to police operations. They can be justified as a necessary counter
measure to suicide bombers." |

I've quoted the relevent part of Stockwell 16.8 - check your own copy, if you don't believe it.
Simply googling will show numerous references to police use of both semi-jacketed soft-points and hollow-points (now mostly the latter). For example, this 1999 book on gunshot wound forensics (should open on page 293):
http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=VbrDbbHAflsC&pg=PA293&lpg=PA293&dq= police+%22semi+jacketed%22+%22hollow-point%22&source=web&ots=xkks8ac7I i&sig=ZzbcX9NqLq9kTVlR-Rx3taWtZa0&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=6&c t=result#PPA293,M1
"As the years have passed, semi-jacketed bullets of hollow-point design have, for the most part, replaced the traditional bullet designs. Except for wadcutters, all-lead revolver bullets are becoming uncommon. In the case of automatic pistols, full metal-jacketed bullets are still the rule only for calibers .25 ACP and .32 ACP. Medium- and large-caliber pistol cartridges are increasingly being loaded with semi-jacketed hollow-point bullets. Most police agencies now use this design."
As to our shores, it seems that someone has been firing off (pardon the pun) FOI requests on the issue to numerous constabularies, with predictably evasive, but - I think we would agree - inherently confirmatory responses, e.g.:
http://www.devon-cornwall.police.uk/v3/PDFStore/foidisclosurelogs/Fire arms/Firearms_310308.pdf
http://www.hampshire.police.uk/NR/rdonlyres/348C74B4-1E13-49CD-B34E-A2 1A1E1B4CEC/0/HC0077208.pdf
http://www.surrey.police.uk/FOI_View.asp?ID=453
http://www.sussex.police.uk/foi/docview.asp?id=1023
Also there's this from Hansard [14/01/08]:
http://www.publications.parliament.uk/cgi-bin/newhtml_hl?DB=semukparl& STEMMER=en&WORDS=hollow%20point&ALL=&ANY=&PHRASE=%22hollow%2dpoint%22& CATEGORIES=&SIMPLE=&SPEAKER=&COLOUR=red&STYLE=s&ANCHOR=80114w0056.htm_ wqn5&URL=/pa/cm200708/cmhansrd/cm080114/text/80114w0056.htm#80114w0056 .htm_wqn5
"Mr. Lansley: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department under what circumstances and on whose authority police officers may use hollow-point dum-dum bullets; what assessment she has made of whether use of such bullets is compatible with the UK's international obligations; and if she will make a statement. [177207]
Mr. McNulty: It is for chief officers to decide what ammunition and weapons are appropriate to use in order to meet their own operational requirements, subject to the general law that use of force by the police must be reasonable in the circumstances."
And earlier [24/01/06]:
http://www.publications.parliament.uk/cgi-bin/newhtml_hl?DB=semukparl& STEMMER=en&WORDS=hollow%20point&ALL=&ANY=&PHRASE=%22hollow%2dpoint%22& CATEGORIES=&SIMPLE=&SPEAKER=&COLOUR=red&STYLE=s&ANCHOR=60124w25.html_s pnew4&URL=/pa/cm200506/cmhansrd/vo060124/text/60124w25.htm#60124w25.ht ml_spnew4
"Ms Abbott: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on the use of dum-dum-style bullets by the police. [43065]
Hazel Blears: It is for Chief Officers to decide what ammunition and weapons are appropriate to use in order to meet their own operational requirements, subject to the general law that use offeree by the police must be reasonable in the circumstances. Hollow point ammunition (sometimes, misleadingly, called dum-dum bullets) is used by police in a number of countries."
I don't know how much more you need to convince you that you're wrong... |

To be quite honest, Nick, I dont care whether I'm right or wrong.
Nothing is proven by either case
What I do know is that several dum dum bullets aimed at the head will blow the head apart and off
Only satanist trained cold murderers acting under control could have done this
A normal person would have squeamed at the first one
Shooting someone's head to pieces is an evil act and only a quiesent controlled person could have done it
Not normal cops but SRR controlled freaks _________________ http://www.exopolitics-leeds.co.uk/introduction |

That many bullets at such short range will have done done much the same, even had they been "military legal" full-metal jacketed rounds. As with so (too) many police shootings, the problem is the actual decision to open fire (in this case because of the mutual self-excusing nature of Kratos), rather than the ammunition used.
Quote: | Only satanist trained cold murderers acting under control could have done this

A "normal person" would squeam at shooting a person in cold blood, full stop. In a situation of high tension, however, logic goes out the window. Even just playing paintball a few times, I've seen some people fall to pieces, blasting away wildly at anything that moves. Fire discipline is something the police are not always best known for.
Quote: | Shooting someone's head to pieces is an evil act and only a quiesent controlled person could have done it
Not normal cops but SRR controlled freaks | British armed police have plenty of "form" for shooting completely innocent and unarmed people on the flimsiest of pretexts, often in a manner that borders on recklessness or panic. There is also a particularly nasty vein of gung-ho arrogance, at least in SO19. Try reading Michael J Waldren's Armed Police and it's hard to stomach the warped sense of moral superiority their attitutude exudes. Simon Gray's Armed Response is even less palatable, but the direct justification for Kratos methods it offers does explain the mind-set of those within SO19.
I actually think that had special forces been involved, the shooting - if it had happened at all - would have been less shambolic, and less shots would have been fired. More importantly, there would be little to be gained by keeping their involvement secret, as numerous disclosures in NI - even when completely the wrong people were shot - proved (cf. Mark Urban's Big Boys Rules). |

What a hypocritical t*****!
He was the guy the allowed the inquest to make even more of a mockery than is usual. I read some of the transcripts and I can't remember the details, but he glossed over important evidence. He allowed police officers to give evidence unidentified. He allowed the fact that no one heard any police officer shout warnings and yet they all claimed they did, to pass without comment. The police control room was a shambles, and whoever was in charge, was not Cressida Dick, and he just let that pass. All the identification of JCM was a mockery and he allowed it!
WTF are these guys always wise and full of integrity after the event? _________________ In the end, it's not the words of your enemies you will remember, but the silence of your friends. Martin Luther King |

Taking a Stand, Lana Vandenberghe interviewed by Fergal Keane
23 Dec 2008, BBC Radio 4.
I listened to this programme in December, it's no longer available.
I was deeply disturbed by Lana Vandenberghe's description of the young man's death as testified by witnesses whose statements she read.
She had been confused at first by the fairly small amount of blood on the floor of the carriage, in the photographs.
According to witness statements that she read, there was no warning, his arms were pinned behind his back and his head was forced down into a seat on the carriage.
It was in this position that he was shot.

Officer who tampered with evidence is let off after found to be acting "naively".
Daily Mirror
Quote: | A special Branch officer who tampered with evidence after the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes was cleared of any wrongdoing yesterday.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission said the officer, known as "Owen", had acted naively. But it found no evidence of "deliberate deception".
Owen cut part of a note he handed to the inquest in October last year, referring to the Scotland Yard operation on the day of the 2005 shooting at Stockwell tube station, South London.

Unbelievable. For anyone who followed the De Menezes inquiry, the most favourable conclusion one could draw about Big Dick was crass incompetence.
Oh well, NWO and Parkinsons Law (People get promoted beyond their level of competence) combine to get Big Dick a wedge more of our money. _________________ In the end, it's not the words of your enemies you will remember, but the silence of your friends. Martin Luther King |
