Subject: BS: Police guilty over Menezes
London's Metropolitan Police Force have been found guilty on 19 counts of endangering the public during the operation which resulted in the shooting of the innocent Brazilian Jean Charles de Menezes. It was fined £175,000 and ordered to pay £385,000 in costs.

The Commissioner of The Met' Sir Ian Blair who has refused to resign, has done so on the grounds that the judgement did not indicate any systemic failures in the police service.

So we(the tax payer) have to pay £560,000 and Sir Ian Blair keeps both his job, and the confidence of The Prime Minister. The de Menezes family continue to wait for justice.
