Goes to the UK Metro Police
Hypocrisy knows no Bounds!
Shamrock's comment: The Terrocracts want CCTV's camera's to spy on
you everywhere. There are thousands of them around London and more
are being put in place every week to 'protect you'. Soon they'll be
in your home.
However when an innocent victim is brutally slaughtered with seven
gun shots to the head at close range by (UK) police on a public
underground (subway) station surprise, surprise, the CCTV cameras
just happen NOT to be working on that particular day and at that
particular underground stop! They said the same thing about the
cameras not working on the London bus and underground bombings of
July 7th.
Believe that lying B.S. from the police then I've got a bridge to
sell you!
*** Platform CCTV 'was working'
London - A newspaper on Monday alleged that three closed circuit
television cameras (CCTV) on a London subway platform, where an
innocent Brazilian was shot dead by police, were working despite
police claims to the contrary.
However, a spokesperson for Scotland Yard, dismissed the story as
speculation, noting that the police had never disclosed any comment
about the CCTV footage.
The latest report about the controversial shooting of Jean Charles
de Menezes came as two senior Brazilian officials arrived in Britain
to grill police officers and investigators about what happened.
Wagner Goncalves, from the attorney general's department, and Marcio
Pereira Pinto Garcia from the department of international judicial
co-operation at the ministry of justice, flew into London's Heathrow
airport earlier.
Fatal blunder
The London Evening Standard cited senior sources on the London
Underground challenging police claims that there was no footage of
the final movements of the 27-year-old electrician mistaken for a
suicide bomber at Stockwell station, in a fatal blunder on July 22.
The newspaper said a log book, which was kept to record events at
the station and any faults, had no reports of problems concerning
the CCTV cameras at the time of the shooting.
It quoted a senior transport union official as saying: "At least
three out of four of the cameras were working. There were no
reports of anything wrong with the cameras.
"Sometimes you may have trouble with one camera, but staff cannot
understand how none of the four recorded anything. It is most
unusual to say the least."
The newspaper said the sources spoke out after "police had returned
tapes taken from the cameras saying, 'These are no good to us. They
are blank'".
However, the BBC had reported that there was a shortage of CCTV
footage for the incident as discs for the cameras had been removed
the previous day by police officers investigating the failed 21 July
attacks on London transport and not replaced.
