This rolls on and on. Just thought you good Freepers should be kept in touch.

Which suggests to me that someone back at the ranch is
really responsible for this tragedy, and the officers
on scene might be nearly co-victims.

This is an outrage. England is going to die yet.

Maybe all police have to have lawyers going along on calls, and stop to consult with lawyers before drawing guns.

Passengers interviewed

Mr Hardwick said they had spoken to everyone they needed to for the inquiry into the shooting itself and were confident they knew what happened at Stockwell Tube station and why.

"We are confident we know, second by second, what happened on that train," he said.

Questioned about reports that some of the CCTV tapes from the Tube station platform may have been missing, Mr Hardwick said: "We are comfortable that we have all the tapes that exist. We have always said the tapes are significant."

Senior investigator John Cummins admitted there had been "problems" with the equipment, but did not elaborate further.

All 30 passengers in the train carriage at the time of the shooting had also been interviewed, Mr Hardwick added.

In total the investigation took 600 written statements.

Mr Menezes, 27, was shot seven times in the head by anti-terror officers after being mistaken for a suicide bomber the day after the failed 21 July bomb attacks
