Once again the state has procribed its own version of events to fit into its 'all cops are heroes' take on anything the police do.
The whole point of a jury is that members of the public can make up their minds on contentious issues which should not be left to a judge or anyone else who may be thought to be biased.
I have not seen one report on mainline news media which does not state that
'the innocent Brazilian was gunned down on a south London Tube train when mistaken for a suicide bomber'
ie the media accept and report this before anything else is mentioned, otherwise they may have to accept that there may be trigger-happy or even murderous cops running about the streets.
A sad day for anyone who might have believed in justice in the UK.
My deep apologies to the family, my thoughts are with you.
