Another Day, Another Government Lie Exposed
Here's a shocker for you. Everything the British government and London police department told us about the July 22 shooting death of Jean Charles de Menezes, an innocent Brazilian, by London cops, turns out to be a lie.
The documents and photographs confirm that Jean Charles was not carrying any bags, and was wearing a denim jacket, not a bulky winter coat, as had previously been claimed.
He was behaving normally, and did not vault the barriers, even stopping to pick up a free newspaper.
He started running when we saw a tube at the platform. Police had agreed they would shoot a suspect if he ran.
However, it was just a series of "mistakes" that led to Menezes's death, and you can be sure no one will be held responsible or pay any real price for this.
