ITV News has obtained secret documents and photographs that detail why police shot Jean Charles De Menezes dead on the tube.

(...)

The crucial mistake that ultimately led to his death was made at 9.30am when Jean Charles left his flat in Scotia Road, South London.

Surveillance officers wrongly believed he could have been Hussain Osman, one of the prime suspects, or another terrorist suspect.

By 10am that morning, elite firearms officers were provided with what they describe as "positive identification" and shot De Menezes eight times in the head and upper body.

He was not carrying any bags.
He was not wearing a "bulky" coat but a denim jacket.
He was calm, used his swipe card on the barrier & even picked up a free newspaper.
He began to run to catch a train.
The police didn't give any warnings.

1. Yeah... they mistakenly let psychopaths become cops.

[DELUSIONAL]

7. Those cops should be taken off the street and

put where others murders awaiting trial are living.

2. Cops Lie

Why should we expect anything better from English cops, when American cops lie as well.

Don't worry this will be swept under the rug and they'll keep their "shoot to kill" order active.

3. No rug sweeping here! Get they guy who gave the positive ID on the LINE!

There is WAY more to this story than a bad ID!!!

6. ++> Why did they wait until the subway to apprehend or kill him then?

8. Oh, well, he's brown..........

I'm going to point out that the officers who did this were a "special unit" with shoot to kill orders......and they were trained by the israelis.

I frankly think that's really poor precedent, but no-one asked me.
