Cowboy UK Police Shoot Another Unknown 'Terror Suspect'
 

De Menezes lessons not learned, again proves shoot first, ask questions later policy still active

Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet.com | June 2 2006

Today's news that British police almost killed another unnamed alleged "terror suspect" in London under the shoot first, ask questions later policy proves that the lessons of the brutal murder of Charles De Menezes have been completely discarded.

Police raided the family home, a family described as "respectable and "nice people" by neighbors, in the middle of the night and shot a 23-year-old man in the shoulder.

If the bullet had been three inches higher this would have been 'De Menezes 2' and another unprovoked targeted assassination by London Metropolitan Police.

As per usual, the identity of the suspects and the nature of their alleged crime is completely unknown at this time.

Maybe their crime was to own a vehicle or a house, two of the benchmarks of terrorism according to the Metropolitan police, who launched a poster campaign to encourage Londoners to report on their neighbors.

We are expected to place our trust in the reasoning of the same people who chased and gunned down Charles De Menezes, a completely innocent man who didn't even show signs of suspicious behavior, shortly after the London bombings last year.

Occasional 'terror raids' in which anonymous people are snatched in the middle of the night and disappeared create a chilling effect that Blair's government needs to stem the tide of dissent.

Police battered down the door at 6am and ripped apart a Reading landlady's home because a Pakistani suspect they were looking for had once rented a room from her.

New glorification of terrorism legislation is so broadly and loosely defined that this writer could be vanished by the thought police for disagreeing with the government's version of events for an event like the 7/7 bombings.

Only seventeen of the 700 plus individuals grabbed from their own homes have ever been charged with a terrorist offence under the 2000 Terrorism Act yet the endless 'terror raids' are inflated and characterized by the media as proof that Britain is under constant threat and that evil terrorists are lurking in people's neighborhoods.

In March, the Association of Chief Police Officers in Britain concluded in its inquiry that the shoot to kill policy which was carried out in the murder of Jean Charles de Menezes was acceptable and should not be altered. Since de Menezes' behavior gave no sign whatsoever that he was a potential suicide bomber, this was a strong statement of intent.

What is the message being sent?

We are the bosses, we are in control. We can carry out targeted assassinations on British soil and there's not a damn thing you can do about it apart from sit down and shut up. Otherwise you just might become the next target of her Majesty's secret death squad.

We will wait to discover what dastardly deed these dangerous terrorists were planning, and if it was similar in nature to the fearsome plan to bomb Manchester United's football ground or the fabled plot to poison the underground with Ricin.

Both these schemes were of course completely dreamed up creations of British intelligence and Tony Blair's government, released at politically opportune times to scare the British public into supporting wars and selling their own freedom down the river.

oh, my god, we live in mad world :(

U prick.. what makes u think he was not involved with bomb making?

boycott kandah and all his crazy informative posts...

more dead people = more security

Kandah - you seriously are a "UK hater" - you nasty piece of Swedish scum :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Seriously.. yea.. give em a gun and they will shoot "something".

Know one who shot himself in the foot. Another, tho not in the UK, managed to shoot himself in the side of his stomach - fuck knows what contortions he was doing.

There is also a load of "hype" going on during "operations" like that and some officers can get carried away. Same bullshit with US troops in Iraq (tho hell.. that's too sensitive a subject for GFY :1orglaugh )

What a dradfully poor quality article, and from prisonplanet.com no less :)

When you read Kandah's posts, just imagine in your mind that the person typing it is the Swedish Chef from the Muppet Show. It really makes it much more entertraing. "Bork, bork bork!"

it is on all major news sources , including msnbc.com.

Amazing how the publisher ( not the source ) makes it unreliable ... I would agree if it would come from the darn good intelligence of the CIA ....

Ahh yes and now Beeker is here too!

Here's the current story from the UK Lazonby...

That's very nice WC - you bake it yourself?? :winkwink:

I like the Swedish meat balls in IKEA tho :thumbsup But WTF is with their product names - PYNT = a bookend, PALA = corner shelves, FORSBY = dining table.

Obviously IKEA have given much thought to their product names :pimp

I'm 6'2" , but I like short women ... and a bit plumpy ... Italian could fit the mold ....

yea I'll fucking BET...

I'm pretty sure if the UK was kiddnapping people in their sleep and holding them hostage without charging them, it would be front page world around the news.

And it's not.

Agree Rochard - tis is silly and biased article. It does not even represent what the Association of Chief Police Officers actually said in March.

Despite that - it is nothing knew for the UK to cover up scenarios in the same way other countries do. It's all in the detail - John Stalker's report on Northern Ireland was a classic example. He was just an honest police officer who wrote a report that was not "helpful" at that time. It's worth keeping an open mind - on everything.


Kandah:

There are plenty valid and well-researched media reports - If you want to choose a few with some substance, fine - but using what is basically garbage ain't going to help, and, who knows - you could be doing a disservice and missing more relevant and valid news items.
