Dear Liz
The problem is the Metropolitan Police has a policy that to all intents and purposes is a shoot to kill policy. Innocence or guilt doen't seem to figure as important.
This policy is aimed at men with dark skin and if they have a beard they are even more at risk.
Robert De Meneses was executed and pumped full of bullets at short range while going about his lawful business and then those in charge did their utmost to cover up aided by a compliant press.
For some reason in Forestgate last week the result was a gunshot injury not death.
This shoot first policy is more reminiscent of some violent,lawless dictatorship . Let us also be clear the action of the Met's hit squads has everything to do with a political show and next to nothing with catching criminals. The operation fitted New Labour's agenda to a glove ..
