"Officer who shot Brazilian breaks down at inquest" by Jill Lawless, Associated Press | October 25, 2008
LONDON - A police marksman who fatally shot an unarmed Brazilian man broke down on the witness stand yesterday after saying he thought his target was a suicide bomber about to blow himself up.
Bull crap!
The officer told jurors at an inquest into the July 22, 2005, killing of Jean Charles de Menezes that he believed the man he was pursuing had been identified as one of the failed bombers who had tried to attack London's transport system the day before.
"It was left in no doubt as to the type of suspect we were trying to intercept and they were prepared to take their own lives as well as others and the danger was immeasurable," said the marksman, who was granted anonymity by the inquest and identified only by his code name, C12.
An inquest, which is not a trial, is required by British law to establish the facts when someone dies unexpectedly, violently or of unknown causes. De Menezes' family and their supporters hope that it will provide more information about de Menezes' death than has so far been revealed publicly.
De Menezes, a 27-year-old electrician, was followed from his apartment building - which was also home to one of the would-be bombers - and onto a subway train by armed officers who fired seven shots into his head.
The officer recalled that he and another armed officer followed de Menezes into Stockwell subway station in south London and onto a train. He said he shouted "armed police!" and pointed his gun, but the Brazilian stood up and moved toward him.
"It was at that stage that I just formed the opinion that he's going to detonate, he's going to kill us and I have to act now in order to stop this from happening," the marksman said.
He said he fired three shots as a surveillance officer held de Menezes down. A second police marksman fired several other shots.
Why didn't the "suicider" blow himself up? Who HOLDS DOWN a BOMBER, folks?
"If there was any alternative, you must believe me, I would have taken it but I did not have any alternative," said the officer, who choked back tears as he recalled the events --more--"
That is the quintessential definition of crocodile tears!
