Jean Charles de Menezes All Over Again?
Do we have our own Menezes case now?
According to the AP (via Antiwar.com):
A passenger who claimed to have a bomb in a carry-on bag was shot and killed by a federal air marshal Wednesday on a jetway connected to an American Airlines plane that had just arrived at Miami International Airport from Colombia, officials said. . . .
Homeland Security spokesman Brian Doyle said after the plane had parked at the gate, a passenger indicated there was a bomb in the passenger's carryon bag. The passenger was confronted by air marshals but ran off the plane.
A team of air marshals pursued and ordered the passenger to get on the ground. The passenger did not comply and was shot when apparently reaching into a bag, Doyle said. He said this is the first time an air marshal has shot at a passenger or suspect.
Then there's this: "A woman, apparently the man's wife, said he suffered from bipolar disorder and had not taken his medication, Gardner said."
And you have to love the cops' police state response:
After the shooting, police boarded the plane and told the passengers to put their hands on their heads, [passenger Mary] Gardner said.
"It was quite scary," she told the station [WTVJ-TV] via a cell phone. "They wouldn't let you move. They wouldn't let you get anything out of your bag."
How much you wanna bet the official story turns out to be a pack of lies again?
