It's now a BBC campaign

The BBC are really pushing the 'out of control' Menezes officers thing. Under the cover of reporting from the inquest, they are in fact hyping up a partisan campaign. They are also continuing to push the 'police gave no warning' theme, even though it is COMPLETELY OBVIOUS that the police DO NOT shout a warning to a suicide bomber because he will then DETONATE HIS EXPLOSIVES.

I don't like to shout but sometimes you just have to, I cannot believe the BBC, who in their conceit pride themselves on being so worldly-wise, are unaware of this. The only conclusion possible is that the BBC are perfectly aware of this, but chose to lie.

Anyway, back to the inquest. Some imbecile has been giving evidence:

Anna Dunwoodie said she believed officers were "out of control" and gave off a "sense of panic" before shooting.
Hmm. This doesn't quite match the BBC's 'they cooly murdered an innocent man' meme but it is close enough. Who would have thought, two weeks of grinding tension after four (yes, FOUR!) successful suicide bomb attacks in London that the police might be visibly nervous boarding a tube train to kill a suspected fifth? Why, no-one in advertising behaves like this! Surely the police should not also?

She said she did not hear officers shout any warning at the electrician.

For the fucking obvious reason outlined above. Honestly, how stupid have the British become?

Discussing the moments before Mr Menezes' death, Ms Dunwoodie said he had closed his eyes and looked "almost calm".
Like, perhaps, a crazed Islamist might do as he contemplates his very imminent martyrdom?

The shooting of this man was a terrible error committed by people who had spent two weeks on the edge of the edge, their nerves ground down. These people put their lives on the line to protect the public. Fifty-two innocent people (note that in this article the BBC refers to Menezes as 'innocent', but I have NEVER seen them refer to the 52 murdered as 'innocent') were murdered by Islamists on July 7th, but the BBC aren't interested in them.
