It seems the sh:censored:t is about to hit the fan in a big way. Documents from the inquest into De Menezes' shooting have been leaked to ITN news:

Some of the more interesting points:

1. He was tailed from the block of flats, but not positively identified or videod because one of the surveillance officers was "relieving himself" at the time.

[quote=apache] The target wasn't approached on the bus because the police tailing him were not armed, the armed support was called for when he entered the tube station.[/quote]

Really?

2. Armed police [b]were[/b] on site, at the block of flats.

[quote=apache]I’m telling you what I know from good sources[/quote] they don't seem that good now...

3. CCTV shows him walk into the station, use a ticket at the barrier, stop for a Metro paper and [b]slowly[/b] descend the elevator. When he reached the concourse at the bottom, he ran onto the waiting train.

4. He entered by the middle doors, and sat down, facing the platform. He was being followed closely by a surveillance officer, armed officers were "catching up"

5. The armed officers entered the train and challenged him, he stood up and the surveillance officer grabbed him pushing him back into the seat.

6. He was shot in the seat, by [b]two[/b] officers.

Puts all that mis-information into perspective don't you think?

beaten to it! I was thinking of everyone on the "police shooting whingeing people" thread all the way through the report.

Feel free to lock this and use the other thread mods.

I thought it happened on the train not at the newsagents?
