Indeed

Remember the Juan Charles de Menezes stuff

"He ran away and has vaguely brown skin - that means he's a terrorist and justifies shooting him multiple times in the head at close range"

EDIT: The police scare the sheeet out of me

I can imagine what the attempts to defend the officer will say.

"He deserved it! Sure, the officer was a bit violent, with shoving him on the ground and such, but the guy was asking for it! Did you see the way he was walking? He was suspicious! He had his hands in his pockets! He had his back turned to the police and was ignoring them!"

Juan:
I thought the British police was more civilized, but then 'civilized police' is a contradiction in terms...

They are, frankly, paramilitary thugs.

I was just about to come and post a thread about this

I was utterly apalled - even if he was an anti-capitalist idiot who thinks that the G20 are arch-capitalists presiding over unfettered laissez faire et laissez passer nations.

And all they're doing is launching an "investigation". Yeah, like that'll do anything.

state kills yet another innocent.
