We’re sorry we shoot an innocent. But we’ll probably do it again

Met Police chief Sir Ian Blair has apologised to the family of the Brazilian man shot dead by police in south London on Friday.


He said the death of Jean Charles de Menezes was a “tragedy”, but admitted more people could be shot as police hunt suspected suicide bombers.


“Who will police the police?”


Maybe he didn’t even know they were cops.



Witnesses say Mr. Menezes was running away from plainclothes police officers moments before he was fatally shot.


Plainclothes? If several men not obviously police point guns at you and yell at you to stop, hey, you might run too.
