Re: Update on the Brazilian guy killed by police last month
[ QUOTE ]
The dodgiest things about it are that :
(1) the undercover policeman who was specifically supposed to follow the guy and video what happened, missed him because he was taking a piss.
(2) the police claim that there is no CCTV footage of what happened because none of the cameras in the station were working. Despite the fact that the entire country was on hugh alert after the first bombs.. sounds likely....

The thing that I've had the hardest time understanding about this, is why didn't they detain him *before* he entered the tube station? Apparently the reason they thought he was a terrorist was because they saw him leaving an apartment building where one of the terrorists had been sighted. They claim that the misidentification happened at this point, not when he was in the station. They claim that they were following him after they identified him as a terrorist. Is it the normal operating procedure of London Police to let suspected terrorists walk around freely after being spotted -- or better yet, let them enter a tube station?
