Possible new evidence shows police may have been very WRONG
http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/europe/08/17/police.shooting/index.html
The new account was said to have been obtained from the Independent Police Complaints Commission investigation into the killing.

"ITV News, citing documents and photographs, reported that de Menezes was not carrying any bags when he entered the Stockwell Tube station and was wearing a denim jacket, rather than a bulky coat as police had previously said.
De Menezes walked at a normal pace, did not vault any barriers and even stopped to pick up a newspaper, ITV News reported.
He descended to the train slowly on an escalator, then ran toward the open subway car and took a seat, according to ITV, which based its account on a document outlining what was captured on surveillance footage."
Not good. :(

Certainly doesn't look good but I would hope the full report should be out soon. It doesn't take that long to get the facts especially with all the cctv that the Brits have. The sooner they get the info out the better. Delaying an aw **** situation just makes it look like you are trying to cover it up. If they screwed the pooch it would be far better to fess up and deal with it rather than try to spin something better out of it.
They need to look over the screw ups the feds have done here in the states to see that. Obviously ruby ridge and waco are not minor unknown situations and didn't go away just because the feds didn't want to talk about it. The one thing I can respect Reno for was her standing up and saying the buck stopped with her and it was her decision to go on with the raid. Unfortunately that breath of fresh air got shut down.

Who was it on this very BBS said when it happened " I bet the whinging liberals will be saying the guy was innocent next".
