I was in shock when I read this story this evening. According to a report leaked to the British media, Jean Charles de Menezes had already been subdued when he was shot to death by British Police. According to the report, which was generated by the Independent Police Complaints Commission, there was nothing suspicious about Menezes aside from the building he left. However, upon recieving “positive identification” from their superiors, the Police officers grabbed him and executed him on the spot. I keep telling myself that this couldn’t happen here, but you have to wonder.
