When the police kill innocent men, women and children. THE LAW IS THERE TO PROTECT THE POLICE .... NOT TO SEE JUSTICE FOR THE VICTIM OR THEIR FAMILY

Christopher Alder  Left on a police station floor to die
James Ashley Shot and killed by English police when he got out of bed at 3am in the morning
Jean Charles De Menezes The second innocent man shot as a terrorist when he was just going to work
5yo John Shorthouse 5yo John hiding under his bed .... shot and killed by policeman
Harry Stanley Shot as a IRA terrorist as he was just walking home - Police shoot to kill orders since at least 1999 so it is not a new policy in 2005 
Sarah Thomas The police say after being arrested .... 'she suffered a fit' ....  A  young healthy girl had a fit?

Baghdad Abu Ghraib abuse scandal in Iraq   

The scandal erupted in April 2004 when photographs depicting U.S. soldiers taunting and humiliating naked prisoners being mistreated became public. The USA guards never let anyone die. But they were charged for abuse taunting and humiliating naked prisoners and found guilty.

If any of the Abu Ghraid prisoners had been dragged unconscious into a police station and left to die while police laughed and joked next to him 

  1. Imagine the horror and worldwide condemnation that would have provoked.
  2.  
  3. The sad fact is when ... 'English police' ... are guilty ... of these criminal acts ... the
    Police and the Criminal Prosecution Service (CPS) and the law will protect them

If this had happened in Baghdad Abu Ghraid prison it would have been a .... 'War crime.'

Christopher Alder 37yo- Ex paratrooper father of two children died 1st April 1998

A Falklands veteran who was also decorated for his service with the Army in Northern Ireland

FAILED JUSTICE SYSTEM -- OF ENGLISH LAW -- THAT PROTECTS THE POLICE FROM BEING FOUUND GUILTY

1st April 1998 Mr C Alder died in agony coughing up blood ---- on a police station floor 

24 August 2000 After seven weeks of evidence the 'Inquest jury' returned a verdict of Unlawfully killed. Five officers took the stand but 'Refused' to answer any questions

April 2001 The CPS in their 'Dishonourable' role of protect the police -  refused to charge the police officers.

9 April 2001 Hull police officers failed to overturn the unanimous verdict of unlawful killed verdict by the 'Inquest jury. 
The High Court refused to overturn the 'Unlawfully killed' verdict of the Inquest jury

August 2001 The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS ) - IN THEIR ROLE OF PROTECT THE POLICE Still - Deny Deny DENY and refuse to charge the police officers.

March 2002 The High Court ruled that the officers MUST face manslaughter charges as well as the misconduct in public office charges that they were already facing. 

21st June 2002 At the trial Mr Justice David Roderick Evans  Unlawfully instructed the jury to acquit 5 police offices of manslaughter and neglect of duty. BEFORE ALL THE EVIDENCE HAD BEEN HEARD. 

  1. The decision of the House of Lords in Wang [2005] UKHL 9; 10th February 2005 Norman Baird Editor, Consilio.

  2. Clearly shows the 'Judge' cannot order or direct the jury to give a verdict.

  3. Before ALL THE EVIDENCE IS HEARD (See the report below)

December 2004 Humberside Police Authority confirmed that four of the five police officers were allowed to retire on 'medical grounds' 

Each policeman would get a lump sum of between £45,000 and £66,000 on top of their annual police pension.

****************************

1st April 1998  Christopher Alder 37yo- Ex paratrooper father of two children died 
  1. Arrested by police and waved to a porter as he climbed ...'UNAIDED' into the police van 
  2. But after a 5 minute drive to the police station ... 
  3. Was dragged unconscious into the police station .... With his trousers around his knees.  
  4. Left lying unconscious on a police station floor in handcuffs behind his back for 12 minutes coughing up blood and gasping for breath. 
  5. Until he gave up his fight for life and died
  6. While the guards looked on laughing and joking making racist comments and monkey noises
  7. CPS and POLICE CONCEAL EVIDENCE FOR 4 YEARS 
    Video tapes from the custody suite cameras were seized in April 1998, but the section containing monkey chants and laughter (was hidden from Christopher Alder lawyers for 4 years
  8.  

Mr C Alders trousers pulled down over his knees to stop him fighting back when attacked

  1. Within about 10 minutes of a Hospital porter (independent witness) who described Mr Alder  as being calm as he climbed into the police van and sat down on his own. Christopher Alder was dragged into a police station and left 'Unconscious' on the floor

  2. PC Dawson had told investigating officers from West Yorkshire Police Force that he thought Mr Alder was asleep in the police van on arrival at the station.  (after a few minutes drive from the hospital?)

  3. Many people believe Christopher Alders trousers were pulled down to his ankles to stop him fighting back when attacked, 

  4. Then the police left him lying face down on a cold police station floor in handcuffs behind his back for
    12 minutes coughing up blood

  5. Gasping for breath until finally

  6. he gave up his fight for life and he died 30 minutes after leaving hospital.

  7. While the 4 or 5 police officer looked on laughing and joking making monkey noises and comments about bananas.

  8. The 5 Officers  refused to answer 150 questions how and why Christopher Alder was unconscious and left to die.

In a trial if you refuse to answer questions ...you can ... and probably will be found guilty 

Lord Hoffmann "In English law... there is NO ABSOLUTE RIGHT TO SILENCE or privilege against self-incrimination"


Editor (But if your a policeman you can refuse to answer questions and the same assumption of guilt does not apply. Another rule of law that doesn't apply to the police. No wonder the public has no confidence in justice)

 

18 March 2003 Murder accused remains silent
The trial judge Mr Justice Peter Crane warned Stephen Hughes the jury would be able to make inferences from Mr Hughes' decision
not to give evidence. Hughes was found guilty

In another case when another man refused to answer questions:

Judge Sir Michael Astill told the defendant: "Mr Khyam,   "If you refuse to answer the questions you were being asked at that time without good cause, the jury may draw such inferences as appear proper from your failure to do so, do you understand?"
Khyam was found guilty

 

Inquest jury verdict - five officers took the stand but 'Refused' to answer any questions

24 August 2000 After seven weeks of evidence the 'Inquest jury' returned a verdict of Unlawfully killed -
The jury foreman
described the death as happening "while in a police van" and being laid on the floor of  the charge room". 

The five officers took the stand but 'Refused' to answer any questions each repeating a ‘No comment’  ad nauseam. (ad nauseam means to a sickening extent)

But the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) decided that Unlawfully killed is not enough evidence to bring a criminal case against the five Humberside police officers

April 2001 The CPS in their 'Dishonourable' role of protect the police -  refused to charge the police officers.

The CPS Infamous statement' that there is 'insufficient' evidence to convince a jury to convict' is particularly hard to comprehend when an inquest jury have looked at the facts surrounding a death and reached a verdict of 'unlawful killing. ' Such an 'INQUEST JURY VERDICT' carries exactly the same burden of proof as a criminal court verdict 

POLICE TRY TO QUASH THE 'UNLAWFULLY KILLED VERDICT OF the inquest JURY'

9 April 2001 Hull police officers failed in their attempt to overturn the unanimous verdict of unlawful killed verdict by the 'Inquest jury. 
The High Court refused to overturn the 'Unlawfully killed' verdict of the Inquest jury 

August 2001 The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS ) - Still - Deny Deny DENY and refuse to charge the police officers.

March 2002 The High Court ruled that the officers should face manslaughter charges as well as the misconduct in public office charges that they were already facing.

Trial was ---- UNLAWFULLY ---- STOPPED before all the evidence had been heard

If conflicting evidence was a reason to stop a trial then very few cases would continue. 

21st June 2002 At the trial Mr Justice Roderick Evans  Unlawfully instructed the jury to acquit 5 police offices of manslaughter and neglect of duty. BEFORE ALL THE EVIDENCE HAD BEEN HEARD. Saying there was conflicting evidence how Christopher Alder had died 

CPS confirms the jury didn't hear all the evidence
Christopher Enzor, of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said: 
"Naturally we were disappointed
the jury will not have the opportunity to hear this case in full.

21st June 2002 At the trial Mr Justice Roderick Evans IGNORED EVIDENCE or prevented evidence being heard AGAINST THE POLICE OFFICERS 

Unlawful to acquit officers before all the evidence is heard 

HOUSE OF LORDS decision

The rule of law from the House of Lords (in Wang 2005) shows Mr Justice Roderick Evans decision to acquit the police officers is blatant 'OPPRESSION' of justice in English law
  1. The role of judge and jury: 
  2. The decision of the House of Lords in Wang [2005] UKHL 9; 10th February 2005 Norman Baird Editor, Consilio.
  3. Clearly shows the 'Judge' cannot order or direct the jury to give a verdict.
  4. The House of Lords commented (in Wang 2005) that, as there was not a total lack of evidence, the question should have been left to the jury, "irrespective of how predictable the outcome might reasonably be thought to be." 
  5.  
  6. Click here to view the 'House of Lords' ruling 
  7. The DOUBLE JEOPARDY LAW (4th April, 2005) MUST APPLY TO THIS BIASED JUDGES DECISION TO STOP THIS TRIAL BEFORE THE JURY HEARD ALL THE EVIDENCE
Assault charges
The families have a right to know, for all deaths in custody

Have any of the police officers been accused of violence or assault or causing a death before or has their character been questioned.  

If so how many times, whether substantiated or not. Because we know how the PCA cover up violence from the police in the past.

Mr Justice Roderick Evans  Ignored All The Following Evidence

Police Destroyed Evidence 'before forensic tests were carried out'.

NO OFFICER CHARGED WITH A CRIMINAL OFFENCE FOR DESTROYING EVIDENCE 

  1. Police dry-cleaned their own clothes before full forensic tests could be carried out. 

  2. Police never have their uniforms dry cleaned just because they carry a man into the police station DO THEY?
  3. They would if there was a danger of evidence on Mr Christopher Alder and their clothes that
    Mr Christopher Alder had been assaulted. 
  4. Police 'BURNT' Christopher Alder's clothes and destroyed his 'BELT' before any forensic tests could be done.

  5.  

  6. Police NOT CHARGED with destroying evidence to ---- 'Pervert the course of Justice'

  7. Police 'Wiped blood' from the police van.

  8. Police cleaned  blood from inside the police van and the custody police station floor
  9. PCA Inspector the investigating officer had taken a policy decision to return the clothes of

    the police officers involved without sending them for any tests, and did not test Mr Alders clothes either

    and then ordered them to be destroyed.

     

  10. The 5 Officers  refused to answer 150 questions how and why Christopher Alder was left to die.
 
 

Office of High Court Judge (Queen's Bench Division)

Purpose of Office

The purpose of judicial office is to administer justice in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.

High Court Judges swear the judicial oath (or affirm) that they "will well and truly serve our Sovereign Lady Queen Elizabeth the Second in the Office of a Justice of Her Majesty's High Court ... and do right to all manner of people after the laws and usages of this Realm without fear or favour, affection or ill will". 

So how does Mr Justice Roderick Evans explain suppressing and ignoring evidence and preventing it being heard in 'Open court' for a jury to give a verdict on the evidence

Mr Justice David Roderick Evans instructed the jury to acquit the officers

Mr Justice David Roderick Evans SUPPRESSED EVIDENCE

Mr Justice David Roderick Evans IGNORED OR SUPPRESSED ALL THE FOLLOWING EVIDENCE

  1. Ignoring  All the experts agreed that, at the very least, the officers’ neglect undoubtedly did deny him the chance of life.
  2. Ignoring  Experts considered the principle cause of his death as asphyxia.
  3.  Ignoring the 'Inquest verdict evidence' from two experts:
    Professor Jack Crane,
    state pathologist for Northern Ireland 
    Dr Nathaniel Cary a leading expert in deaths under restraint.

    Professor Jack Crane, state pathologist for Northern Ireland, wrote a report into Mr Alder's death. "There would appear to be no reason to rule out his recovery had he received appropriate medical attention, had his airway been clear, if he had been placed in the recovery position and if he had gone to hospital."

    Dr Nathaniel Cary a leading expert in deaths under restraint, also concluded that Alder, who was accused by one officer on the videotape of faking and being "as right as rain", died because of blocked air passages that might have been cleared by emergency medical help. 

  4. Ignoring  At the 'POST MORTEM'  further injuries were found that were not recorded by doctors at the hospital. Injuries to his lower lip and head and one more tooth missing. Editor (So Mr Alder did not have these injuries before he was arrested by the police)
  5. By the time Christopher reached the Police station custody suite on that night his belt was already missing and yet he 
    was wearing a belt when he entered the van,
    his trousers and shorts were down to his knees and he had mud on his thigh.
    When Christopher was
    examined in the hospital he was found to have 1 tooth missing and another at a slight angle and
    lacerations to his upper lip.
    The autopsy found he had 2 teeth missing, a laceration to his upper lip AND a significant laceration to his LOWER lip

  6. Ignoring English Law of  'Gross Negligence or Criminal negligence' 
  7. Ignoring Mr Alder had just been discharged from hospital.
  8.  
  9. Ignoring A Hospital porter (independent witness) described Mr Alder  as being calm as he climbed into the van and sat down on his own.
Prosecutor James Curtis QC told the jury  

PC Dawson had told investigating officers from West Yorkshire Police Force that he thought Mr Alder was asleep in the police van on arrival at the station. 

  1. Ignoring SO WHY WAS THERE ANY NEED FOR THE POLICE TO PULL MR ALDERS TROUSERS around his ankles?
  2. His trousers and boxer shorts are around his knees, resulting in the portion of his body from his knees to the middle of his back being naked
  3. Mr C Alder hands were handcuffed behind his back 
  4. Only the top 'Two buttons' of Mr C Alder trouser  buttons  were undone. Which shows his trousers were forcibly pulled down to his ankles by the police.
  5. Most likely it was to stop Mr Alder fighting back and kicking at the police as he was attacked until he was knocked unconscious. (After the 5 minute drive from the hospital to the police station)
  6.  
  7. Ignoring By the time Christopher was dragged into the police station his belt was already missing and yet he was wearing a belt when he entered the van, and he had MUD on his thigh.
  8.  
  9. Ignoring Mr Alder is now unconscious and he has to be carried into the police station and is left on the floor with his trousers around his ankles ... coughing up blood gasping for breath and left to die. 
    Mr Alder lost his fight for life and then dies.
  10.  
  11. Ignoring Mr Alder was coughing up Blood only while being carried/dragged into the police station. But not when he left hospital 
  12. While police officers laugh and joke  6 foot away laughing and joking making monkey noises and comments about bananas.

  13. Ignoring Christopher Alder 37yo- Unlawfully killed -1st April 1998 
    The jury foreman
    described the death as happening "while in a police van" and being laid on the floor of  the charge room" 
  14. That is how 'MANY PEOPLE BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED' and that is how the ---- 'Inquest Jury Foreman described it.'

  15. The CPS made sure 'No officer would testify' who made the 'monkey noises', or how Mr Alder can have 'INJURIES THAT HE DIDN'T HAVE BEFORE LEAVING THE HOSPITAL, or where his belt was that he had when leaving the hospital.
    Which shows they are all police thugs looking after each other.
  16. It's as if they are all guilty of something --- You say what I did and I will say what you did --- Stops any of them saying anything.
    None are fully blameless.

     

Ignoring  
Evidence that had been destroyed by the police
  • Police destroyed Christopher Alder's clothes before any forensic tests could be carried out.
  • Wiped blood from the police van, 
  • Police dry-cleaned their own clothes before a full forensic tests could be carried out.
 
Ignoring The 5 officers refused to answer 150 questions how and why Christopher Alder was left to die.
Lord Hoffmann "In English law... there is no absolute right to silence or privilege against self-incrimination"

In another case when another man refused to answer questions:

Judge Sir Michael Astill told the defendant: "Mr Khyam,    

 

"If you refuse to answer the questions you were being asked at that time without good cause, the jury may draw such inferences as appear proper from your failure to do so, do you understand?"

A Judge in another very high profile English case said, 

"If you prove the defendant has lied .... what are you left with."  Then the defendant was found guilty.

When police officers refuse to answer questions 'Or they lie' the same presumption of guilty obviously doesn't apply
 
The CPS will NOT want a guilty verdict

After saying for years there is no evidence to charge any of the police officers. 

The CPS will not want a guilty verdict or it will confirm what many families have known for years. 

The CPS protect the police from prosecution.

  • 21 June 2002 Trial of five police officers.
  • Mr Justice
    David Roderick Evans
    Stopped the trial and instructed the jury --- to acquit the
    5 police officers.
     BEFORE ALL THE EVIDENCE HAD BEEN HEARD
    • United Families and Friends Campaign attended the trial in Middlesbrough were,  disturbed by the way they felt the prosecution was bring conducted. 
    • The feeble prosecution by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) made the prospects for justice remote from the start of the trial. 
    •  
    • So obviously the CPS did not want a 'Guilty' verdict  
    • The police and the CPS represent the police ---- Not the family of the innocent people who are killed
    •  
    • So who in 'English Law' represents the family of someone killed .... 
    • NOT THE POLICE OR THE CPS
  •  
  • Criminal Prosecution Service ( CPS) confirms the jury didn't hear all the evidence
    Christopher Enzor, of the Crown Prosecution Service, said: 
    "Naturally we were disappointed the JURY WILL NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THIS CASE IN FULL"

    Editor (I DON'T believe him -- the CPS have  protected the police from being charged for 6 years)

A CCTV camera shows why police pull a victims trousers down - they are fighting back

This is obviously a well used tactic by police to stop someone fighting back.

A similar case of arrest and the victim with trousers around her ankles. 30 .07 2006 

This shows the police pulling trousers down past the knees is a well known police tactic when someone is fighting back against them

Toni Comer -
5' 6" and weighs 9st was fighting and kicking out 

To stop her fighting and kicking back

Police pulled down Toni's' jeans to her ankles and then 1 of the 3 policeman is seen on a CCTV punching her 5 times.

One police officer admitted the punches were with maximum force. (He really didn't have much choice it was caught on the CCTV)
Then she is seen being dragged away with (at least) her jeans around her ankles.

I believe Mr Alder was attacked and his trousers were pulled down around his ankles to stop him fighting back. 

Just the same as they did with Toni and the attack continued until he was unconscious.

When you see how much force the police was used on Toni a small 9st young girl to make her give in.
It doesn't need much intelligence to realize how much force it would need to stop Mr Alder a trained Army parachutist fighting back

  1. Mr C Alder hands were then handcuffed behind his back 
  2. Only the top two buttons of Mr C Alder trouser  buttons  were undone. 
  3. Which shows his trousers were forcibly pulled down to his ankles by the police.

Deborah Coles and Daniel Machover Friday June 8, 2001
The experience of bereaved families is that police shy away from treating their fellow officers as criminal suspects who have obvious motivations to lie and tell half-truths. 
 Editor (I would doubt even a half truth)

Janet Alder made a statement to the inquest.

She told how "a police officer came to my house at 11.30 at night on his own. He said. 'Your brother's died in police custody.'

3 different 'Police' versions how Mr C Alder died 

"I was in total shock. I contacted Hull police. They said, 

1. 'Your brother had a fight, he was injured, taken to hospital and subsequently died of his injuries.'
I went to Hull police station. I met a Detective Davidson. I was not happy with his treatment of me ----  with him chewing gum --- his hands behind his back. 

2. In Hull I was told my brother was taken into custody and that he was sat next to a police officer and he collapsed

3. Then two or three weeks later I was told he came out of the van unconscious.   (This was an obvious lie by the police Mr C Alder was not unconscious in the police van. Or there would be no need to pull Mr C Alders trousers down to his ankles just to take him into the police station.)
4. Janet Alder said I spoke to many officers. They all gave me different versions."

The police fought for 6 years to stop the police station video CCTV  of Mr C Alder being left on the station floor to die .... being seen by the public. 

BBC One -- Broadcast of the police CCTV video p; - on Wednesday April 14 2004 at 2100 BST (2235 BST in Scotland)

  • The video show how Mr Alder was left on the police station floor to die by  all the officers concerned. 
  • The BBC DID NOT obtained the video from the police for the Death on Camera programme, part of the Rough Justice series. 
  • On the police station CCTV it clearly shows Mr C Alder's trousers were pulled down around his ankle
  • For 12 minutes Alder’s loud, rasping noises were clearly audible on the BBC screening of CCTV video revealing the horrendous way in which he suffered and the cruelty and neglect of all the officers concerned.
  • As Christopher Alder lay gasping for breath slowly dying on the floor.
  • Officers were clearly heard to be chatting and joking around him.
  • The CCTV video revealed that the officers concerned were imitating monkey noises and making jokes concerning a banana.  
  • The word ‘banana’ is audible, and laughing is heard.

*********************

27 March 2006 Speaking about the findings of his Review, to the media in central London 

The farce of a 'Trial and  police disciplinary inquiry' is now shown to be a 'Biased travesty of justice' after the condemnation of the police from the IPCC 

Nick Hardwick (IPCC) said. Chair of the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC)

I do not want there to be any doubt about my findings. 
The most serious failings were by the four police officers
who dealt with Mr Alder throughout his time in the custody suite. I believe they were guilty of the most serious neglect of duty. The four officers criticized were Pc Matthew Barr, Pc Neil Blakey, Pc Nigel Dawson and Sergeant John Dunn. A fifth officer, Acting Police Sergeant Mark Ellerington, was also involved but to a lesser extent than the others, the report said.

I do not believe, as has been alleged by some, that any of these officers assaulted Mr Alder.  Nor can it be said with certainty, such are the contradictions in the medical evidence, that their neglect of Mr Alder, as he lay dying on the custody suite floor, caused his death.
However, all the experts agreed that, at the very least, the officers’ neglect undoubtedly did deny him the chance of life.

If the lack of common sense and common decency displayed by the officers who watched Mr Alder die is typical of how any police officer would react, it is a disturbing comment on the police service as a whole.
However, I do not believe this is the case.
There is no excuse.
Far from being typical of most police officers, their behaviour has disgraced police officers and the police service as a whole.
Their failures were personal and individual.” 

In addition to these primary individual failings, there were other mistakes. Others who had responsibility for Mr Alder on that night did not fulfill their duties adequately. 

Police Discipline tribunal - IPCC ... Serious errors of judgement were made in establishing the discipline tribunal 

A police disciplinary inquiry conducted by Sean Price, the chief constable of Cleveland police cleared the police officers of neglect of duty.
However the IPCC report below said "Very serious errors of judgement were made in establishing the discipline tribunal as a result of which errors were made in the handling of the disciplinary tribunal itself. " 

IPCC - Review of Events Relating to the Death of Christopher Alder Published (IPCC)- Mr Hardwick 

Mr Hardwick (IPCC) said: “I think the public would be appalled if they knew how inadequate and old fashioned the police discipline system is. 
Gordon Clark former Deputy Chief Constable of Humberside Police ( who was responsible for disciplinary matters in the force at the time of the death of Christopher Alder ) should not have refused to establish a disciplinary panel to deal with the officers, and when he was forced to do so by the PCA was wrong to severely restrict its powers. (Which could explain why the 5 police could avoid answering any questions)

Mr Hardwick (IPCC) also criticized the refusal of the five Humberside Police officers directly involved in Mr Alder’s death to cooperate with the Review.

Mr Hardwick (IPCC) Stated unwitting racism as a motivating factor for the inhumane treatment which unquestionably led to his death.
Janet Alder Regarding the IPCC’s findings of 'Unwitting racism'  claimed when the actual police officers [on duty that night] who were making monkey and chimp noises ‘I don't think  that was unwitting’.

4 Police Officer retire

In December 2004 Humberside Police Authority confirmed that four police officers were being retired on 'medical grounds' 

Each policeman would get a lump sum of between £45,000 and £66,000 on top of their annual police pension.

It is widely suspected that Humberside Police Authority approved the ‘ill-health’ retirement to enable the officers to avoid the Christopher Alder IPCC investigation.
The IPCC
Independent Police Complaints Commission has no powers or legal grounds to intervene and to prevent the retirement of officers. 

Colin Inglis  chairman of the Humberside Police Authority until 2001

Humberside Police Authority allowing the police to retire ---- the IPCC were unable to insist the cooperation of the officers in order to obtain a further account of events. PC Blakely is the only officer still serving with the Humberside force.

The decision to retire the officers was made by suspected ‘paedophile’ Colin Inglis, as chairman of the Humberside Police Authority. He was suspended from both the Labour Party and his job as Humberside Police Authority chairman in June 2005

*******************

The only word the 5 police got right was ----- Dying

For those twelve minutes.
It shows the five police officers standing around him making comments such as 'He is as right as rain...
this is just a show', 'he kept doing a dying swan act 

Dying on the BBC is not for public viewing 

Deputy chief constable Steve Love of Humberside Police, said: 

"The BBC has chosen to show the CCTV footage, which was 'NOT' provided by Humberside Police.,  but from another source.
Police said we firmly believe that a film which portrays
someone dying is not for public viewing.

(The police obviously do not like the public to see what the 'POLICE ARE REALLY LIKE'  -- and many people will question -- how many other 100,s and 100,s of people are killed in police custody)

(I have never heard him say the same when people are shown on the television killed in wars, or unavoidable street accidents.)
Or does he mean this must only apply to people who are seen to repulsively die in police custody

POLICE FALSE CHARGES ======== TO CONVICT AN INNOCENT MAN -- Jason Paul £30,000 damages --  

The speed at which the police wanted to charge and have Mr J Paul convicted was to make it difficult if not impossible for a police officer/s to be charged and convicted of the same offence. 

Mr Paul a friend of Mr C Alder had intervened to stop a fight between Christopher Alder and another man. 

Police charged Jason Paul to draw public attention away from their own misconduct in allowing Christopher Alder to die on the police station floor.

They had interviewed 12 witnesses and the evidence supported what Mr Paul had told them. However, the police still decided to charge
Mr Paul with GBH with intent.

January 2006 A court awarded Jason Paul £30,000 damages after police falsely charged him with murder following Mr Alder’s death.
The jury ruled that: "more likely than not the instruction to arrest for murder was given to deflect potential criticism (away from the police) of the circumstances of Christopher Alder’s death."

Mr J Paul brought a claim for false imprisonment and malicious prosecution after he was arrested for murder and detained on 1st April 1998.
He was then charged with GBH with intent and denied bail on 2nd April 1998 in relation to the death of Christopher Alder.
On the 30th June 1998 the CPS told Mr Paul the case against him was to be discontinued and confirmed on 10th July 1998.

Editor Notes

There must be an appeal to the House of Lords, the Court of Appeal certifying the following question of law of general public importance 

There is damming evidence against four police officers that should have been left to the jury to decide, "irrespective of how predictable Mr Justice David Roderick Evans may have WANTED the outcome to be."

Belief by many that the jury would probably, have convicted one or more police officers, entitle the family of Mr C Alder to consider Mr Justice David Roderick Evans instructing the jury to acquit  to be biased, when there was evidence which could and should have been the subject of the jury consideration."

The IPCC report - Nick Hardwick Chair of the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) 

in his damming report on the police and others involved in the death of Mr C Alder, 

casts serious doubt of a fair trial by Mr Justice Roderick Evans

NO JUDGE CAN INSTRUCT A JURY TO GIVE A VERDICT HE WANTS --- that is why we have jury. (To stop interference from judges and coroners)

  • The House of Lords commented (in Wang 2005) that, as there was not a total lack of evidence, the question should have been left to the jury, "IRRESPECTIVE OF HOW PREDICTABLE THE OUTCOME (VERDICT) MIGHT REASONABLY BE THOUGHT TO BE
 Conflicting medical evidence. IS NOT A 'LAWFUL' reason to stop a CROWN COURT TRIAL

Joy Gardner 40yo  1st Aug 1993 
1995 During the trial there was also contradictory medical evidence. Two experts said rather than suffocating, as the Crown claimed, Mrs J Gardner died from a blow to the head. 
However the 3 officers from the Alien Deportation Group were acquitted of manslaughter AFTER the Crown jury heard ALL THE EVIDENCE

 

Lord Goldsmith QC Attorney General  

There are certain principles on which there can be no compromise. 

A fair trial is one of those  in accordance with International standards. 

Hollow words when 21st June 2002 At the trial Mr Justice Roderick Evans  Unlawfully instructed the jury to acquit 5 police offices of manslaughter and neglect of duty. BEFORE ALL THE EVIDENCE HAD BEEN HEARD.

  • JUDGES AND CORONERS ignore the justice system, ignore expert evidence

  •  

  • Judges TELL A JURY WHAT THE VERDICT WILL BE - Which is 'UNLAWFUL that is why we have a 'JURY' to stop interference from judges

  • Judges and Coroners who instruct Juries to give a verdict BEFORE ALL THE EVIDENCE IS HEARD  

  • should be charged with 'Conspiracy to pervert the course of justice'

This is English LAW - When the police kill innocent men, women and children.
THE LAW IS THERE TO PROTECT THE POLICE
NOT TO SEE JUSTICE FOR THE VICTIM OR THEIR FAMILY

Who represents the family in an English court when an innocent man or women is killed by the police
NOT THE POLICE and the CPS - they have always refused to charge the officer/s
(ad nauseam.) (ad nauseam means to a sickening repetition )

 

There is no need to 'Shoot Anyone' who is in a bedroom

You Shout Lie Down On The Floor With Your Arms In Front Of You ... Facing The Door

James Ashley - 15 Jan 1998 A 'Naked' ...  innocent man 'Shot and killed 'getting out of bed at 3am' in his home by English policeman.' 

Two subsequent investigations by Kent and Hampshire police (into the shooting and killing of Mr James Ashley) criticized Sussex police for methods used in gathering intelligence, planning and executing the raid

They found evidence that in the planning  or later handling of the incident. 

  • A crime was committed by the chief constable, his deputy, one of the assistant chief constables, a superintendent, a chief inspector, an inspector and three constables. 

The only independent witness 

Mr James Ashley's girl friend Caroline Courtland Smith +

House of Lords ruling on evidence

The rule of law from the House of Lords (in Wang 2005) shows Judge Mrs Rafferty decision to 'ORDER THE JURY' to acquit the 5 police officers before ALL THE EVIDENCE WAS HEARD is 'BLATANT OPPRESSION' of JUSTICE in English law

Editors Note: James Ashley 

  • 21 June 2002 Trial of five police officers.
  • Judge Mrs Rafferty 
    Stopped the trial and instructed the jury --- to acquit the 5 police officers 
    Before all the evidence was heard.

    Judge Mrs Rafferty should be charged - with abuse of power


NO POLICE OFFICER HAS EVER BEEN KILLED WEARING A BULLET PROOF JACKET AND HELMET 

The police DON'T HAVE TO PROVE

Why they thought their life was in danger from a naked man just getting out of bed in his own house.

PC Sherwood was wearing a bullet proof jacket and helmet.
  • But he says an ...unarmed 'Naked man' ... just getting out of bed at 3am
  • Is a 'Life threatening act.' and he was in fear of his life. 
  •  
  • There is 'NO EVIDENCE' that  PC Chris Sherwood's life was in danger. 
  •  
  • He was in NO danger of  being harmed in any way. 
  • When he was wearing a bullet proof jacket and helmet.
  •  
  • But for years the police and the CPS will never charge police officers for killing innocent people. 
  • The decision is condemned by 'some' Judges - Amnesty International and the IPCC .... only three of many.

    Judge Gerald Butler has criticized the Crown Prosecution Service for failing to take action over a number of .... 'Deaths in police custody.' .... Judge Gerald Butler attacked the agency's decision making system. 
One law for the police who shoot and kill innocent people and another for innocent householders defending their family against criminals in their house
  • Armed burglars in your home ..... are more a threat to a person life ......
  • So why did. The police and the CPS very quickly arrest --- charge --- and convict 
    "BARRY LEE HASTINGS" and "CARL LINDSAY" and "TONY MARTIN" who are
    put in prison for defending themselves and their families in their own house against armed burglars.
  •  
  • OBVIOUSLY THE SAME LAW that protects police from killing innocent people in their own homes DOESN'T APPLY TO INNOCENT LAW ABIDING CITIZENS PROTECTING THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES - From burglars in their own home

CPS --- For the 2nd time refused to proceed with  evidence to convict the officers.  - Who planned the raid

2nd trial also stopped before any evidence was heard

2 May, 2001  At a separate trial at Wolverhampton Crown Court in the same month

22 May, 2001- James Ashley's two children intend to sue Sussex police after the three senior officers were cleared of any wrongdoing over his death during a police raid at his home.

Their solicitor Brian Jackson said: "Their hopes, and faith in justice, have been cruelly dashed.

Paul Whitehouse I don't know what happened

26 June, 2001 After more than 3 years Whitehouse says he still doesn't know what happed. It is a good job he had to resigned or be sacked.

26 June, 2001 Paul Whitehouse, chief constable of Sussex Police, resigned a day after the Home Secretary, David Blunkett, ordered his local police authority to consider sacking him to restore public confidence in the force.

Report by Nick Davies 23 May 2001 - The Guardian
If a man with two guns and 60 rounds of ammunition barges his way into a bedroom in at 3am, sees a naked and defenseless occupant and then shoots him dead, he has surely committed a criminal offence - a murder which must land the gunman in prison for life.

  • However, the uncomfortable reality is that if the man with the gun is a police officer,
  • no criminal offence has been committed .... 
  • according to the police and the CPS Crown Prosecution Service. 

The police always attack the character of someone they kill to draw attention away from the fact that a police officer has killed an innocent man or woman.

Sussex Police (to discredit Mr Ashley) said Mr Ashley  was a suspected drug dealer wanted in connection with a stabbing at a pub in the town.  (All untrue) 

  1. Not true It transpired that Mr Ashley had in fact .... pulled the assailant off the victim. 
  2. The PCA Police Complaints Authority found the allegations about the stabbing were untrue
  3. No drugs were found in Mr Ashley's home.
  4. No arms were found in home of Mr J Ashley
  5. Nothing that would justify the police raiding the home of Mr J Ashley and then to  shoot and kill him.
Police shoot to kill policy

When police force their way into your home - the public has a right to defend themselves in any way they can before they are shot with no warning.

Two subsequent investigations by Kent and Hampshire police into the shooting and killing of Mr James Ashley criticized Sussex police for methods used in gathering intelligence, planning and executing the raid

They found evidence that in the planning or later handling of the incident. 

  • A crime was committed by the chief constable, his deputy, one of the assistant chief constables, a superintendent, a chief inspector, an inspector and three constables. 
  • The evidence was considered strong enough to prosecute only four of the junior officers.

This is English LAW - When the police kill innocent men, women and children.
THE LAW IS THERE TO PROTECT THE POLICE
NOT TO SEE JUSTICE FOR THE VICTIM OR THEIR FAMILY

Who represents the family in an English court when an innocent man or women is killed by the police
NOT THE POLICE and the CPS - they have always refused to charge the officer/s
(ad nauseam.)
(ad nauseam means to a sickening repetition )

Police - DPP - CPS Why don't you know the law
By Jon Silverman - Legal affairs analyst - BBC News - Report 20 December 2005 

 It is widely believed that murder has to be either an ...  'Intentional killing or a Premeditated' ... one.
Neither is true.

It is sufficient to prove that serious harm was intended - even if nobody could have foreseen that the harm would cause death.


Jean Charles de Menezes 27yo -

Shot 7 times in the head - no doubt he was Murdered by English police  22 July 2005

The definition of murder: [Murder must be intentional and pre-meditated. Kill intentionally and with premeditation]

 

12 Dec 2008 INQUEST VERDICT .... after 3 years of delays

The coroner Sir Michael Wright 'ORDERED' the jury NOT TO CONSIDER AN ...... 'UNLAWFULLY KILLED' verdict. 

Click here to view the 'House of Lords' ruling

  1. The coroner Sir Michael Wright UNLAWFULLY STOPPED the jury from considering an  'unlawfully killed' verdict. 
    (It's very common for a coroner to 'ORDER' the jury NOT to give an 'Unlawfully killed' verdict against all the evidence)

  2. The coroner Sir Michael Wright should be charged - with abuse of power and interference with the 'DUE PROCESS OF LAW' 

  3. In English law it is --- NOT the coroner or judge --- who decides on a guilty or not guilty verdict it's the 'JURY' THAT'S WHY WE HAVE A 'JURY' 

  4. The jury returned an 'Open verdict' at the inquest which was the worst rejection of the evidence from the police the jury were allowed to give into the death of Jean Charles de Menezes

  5. The 'Jury' rejected the police account that Mr de Menezes was lawfully killed by two police officers

  6. The jury said they did not believe officers had shouted "armed police" before opening fire.

  7. The jury also rejected that Mr de Menezes' innocent behaviour had increased suspicions

  8. Police would obviously say anything to justify shooting an innocent man.

  9. The jury believed the evidence from independent witnesses and not the police

  10. In a statement, De Menezes's cousin Patricia Armani da Silva said 

    • "It's clear the jury would have reached an unlawful killing verdict if they had not been gagged by the coroner. 

    • and accused Sir Michael Wright  of "presiding over a complete whitewash". 

    • They plan to seek a judicial review over the omission of the 'Unlawful killing verdict'.

  11. The 'Inquest' was the first time the public heard a  full account of the shooting from 'Key witnesses who were in the train carriage.'

INDEPENDENT WITNESS STATEMENTS - SAY POLICE SHOT Mr Jean C De Menezes with no warning

Very common for coroners to 'ORDER THE INQUEST JURY' NOT TO CONSIDER 'UNLAWFULLY KILLED' VERDICT

No police to be charged with the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes 

  1. The CPS decided in 2006 that no police officers should face criminal prosecution over the killing.
    BEFORE HEARING ANY INDEPENDENT WITNESS STATEMENTS WHICH NOW SHOWS (after the Inquest) THE POLICE LIED OVER THE MURDER OF Jean Charles de Menezes

17th August 2005Ms Wistrich and Gareth Peirce, the lawyers acting on behalf of 
Mr de Menezes's family  issued a statement and said they no longer had any confidence in the official investigation into his death.

One more innocent man .... NO THREAT TO THE POLICE in any way is shot and killed just going to work. The last innocent man shot and killed as a terrorist by English police.

1 November 2007 The Metropolitan Police was been found guilty of breaching 'Health and safety laws' over the shooting dead of Jean Charles de Menezes in July 2005. At the outset of the trial, the prosecution set out what they said were 19 alleged key failures included the following:

Independent witnesses ----- were not allowed to give evidence at the 'Health and safety trial ---- WHY

  • The control room officers, the firearms officers and the surveillance officers had a confused and inconsistent understanding of what the strategy was for Scotia Road

  • The briefings given to firearms officers at Leman Street and Nightingale Lane police premises were inaccurate and unbalanced and provided the firearms officers with inadequate and inaccurate information about the operation at Scotia Road.

  • There was a failure to ensure that doubts about the correctness of the identification of Mr de Menezes as the suspect were communicated to relevant officers in the control room at New Scotland Yard.

  • The firearms offices failed to satisfy themselves that a positive identification of Mr de Menezes as the suspect had been made by the surveillance officers

  •  

  • No passengers were called to give evidence at the Metropolitan Police 'Health and safety' trial that would have discredited the police evidence
    A  cascade of blatant LIES given as evidence by the police ..... as to why Mr C De Menezes was shot.

  • WHY ----- WERE NO INDEPENDENT PASSENGERS CALLED to give evidence.

As always Police - LIE - and issue false news reports --- (when police kill innocent people)

So why should we ever believe the police -- they 'Lie' time and time again 

22 July 2005 Mr J C de Menezes WAS SHOT AND THE LIES STARTED 

22 July 2005 Sir Ian Blair issued this 'False' statement   

Mr J C de Menezes was challenged and refused to stop. (LIES)

2 October 2008 Sir Ian Blair Resigned (It takes 3 years to get him to resign)

 

A Police State is a country where the police are above the law, and are never held individually accountable. Now other countries include England

  • To distract the public attention away from the police, the police always LIE and give false statements when they kill another man. women. or child

  • Police distortion of the truth follows the same pattern for all people killed by police

  •  
  • When are statements going to be under 'OATH' so police officers can be charged with 'Perjury'
Editor 
  • A senior officer said "The control room was in a Chaotic state."
  • Det Ch Insp Angela Scott said officers changed their minds twice about whether he was the man they were hunting
  • Det Ch Insp Scott, who was based in the operations room at Scotland Yard that day, told the inquest that the undercover officers then ruled he was not the suspect
  • Then just before Mr de Menezes arrived at Stockwell Tube Station, the surveillance team sent a message to their commanders that they believed he was Osman
  •  
  • When you see photographs of the man they were looking for ------ Mr C De Menezes looks nothing like him. If he does, then another 100,000 also look like Osman
  •  
  • We cannot have innocent citizens executed on the flimsiest of evidence on the flimsiest of evidence and wrong identification.
    In both cases (Mr H Stanley and Mr J C de Menezes) the officers carrying out the shootings as well as the Commander who gave the order should be accountable for their actions and charged with cold blooded murder or manslaughter
  •  
  • Somebody made a decision that Jean Charles De Menezes was not to be arrested alive with a 'shoot without warning' policy
  • One dum dum bullet is sufficient to literally blow a man's head off, seven is the act of a maniac.
  •  
  • Police act as the judge, jury and executioner. And every time, again and again, they get it wrong! They have never killed a terrorist. This is not the first time police have shot and killed people who presented no risk to them or others. Police officers (including the officers in charge) who are responsible for killing innocent people should be charged with 'manslaughter/murder' and tried by a jury.
  • The excuse I was just following orders was dismissed at the 'Nuremburg' war crimes trials

IPCC REPORT INTO THE LIES 
  • Assistant Commissioner Andy Hayman "misled" the public, the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) ruled. (MISLED a polite word for LYING)
Editor Notes
  • Now we know that although Sir Ian Blair was not told the truth for 24 hours he still did not tell the truth when he knew what it was.
    That the police had shot an innocent man ....  you should resign
  • Because all these lies were written up in Pathologists reports and spread to the television news and never corrected by the police.
  •  
  • The truth was eventually told by Lana Vandenbergh of the IPCC many weeks later. See the ITV News report just below
ashley Ass Comm
Andy Hayman
Sir Ian Blair said Mr Hayman "retains my full support"
So now we know Sir Ian Blair wants liars in the police force from the top to the bottom

2 October 2008 Sir Ian Blair Resigned (It takes 3 years to get him to resign for NOT acting in the best interests of the family of Jean Charles de Menezes.)  

Now we know why innocent people are killed, BUT NO POLICE CHARGED AND FOUND GUILTY

Ass Comm. Andy Hayman was also in charge of the bungled Forest gate operation when another innocent man was shot but not killed more by good luck.   

Andy Hayman still has the support of the Home secretary who said "She was confidence in his abilities"

The Metropolitan Police Service initially stopped the (IPCC) from taking over the investigation." 

All the police statements were LIES. Yes all of them

Every time the police kill innocent people ... 'In any way' ... 'Shooting, Choke holds, etc.  

Editor Notes

Assault charges
The families have a right to know, For all deaths in custody

Have any of the police officers been accused of violence or assault or causing a death before or has their character been questioned.

If so how many times, whether substantiated or not. Because we know how the PCA cover up violence from the police in the past.

Has he any problems at home or work. Does he have any extremist or moderate views 

How many times has he been on a fire arms alert engagement

The police issue wild untrue statements to deflect attention away from them killing innocent men women and children. 

The theory is even if the 'public' believe some of the police untrue statements of 'blacking someone's name' it has worked to deceive the public

Police statements are LIES - They said 

Tell the truth -- that the police lied when they killed an innocent man --- and you get arrested. 

Lana Vandenbergh told the truth and she was threatened with jail for 9 months

Leaked  TRUTH HOW Jean Charles De Menezes WAS SHOT AND KILLED

The leaked version said Mr de Menezes was --- already restrained --- by a community officer when he was shot in the head 7-times by armed police.

How Jean Charles De Menezes  was killed

Didn't come from the government or the police.

But from Lana Vandenbergh who worked for the 'Police complaints Commission' (IPCC)

Who was brave enough to tell the 'ITV news' that the statement by Sir Ian Blair's statement was a lie.  

Her crime was  --- telling the truth --- that the police were lying 

  • Lana Vandenbergh could not stand by any more and told the truth and she was arrested for telling the truth
  • she was threatened by the police with prosecution and jail. 
  •  
  • Police lied about the details of the shooting and the truth was kept hidden for weeks

Lana Vandenbergh gave the 'ITV news'  witness statements and pictures --- because she said the truth, was very different from the statement by the police.

It will play in less than 10 seconds depending on your computer

17 August 2005 - BBC News report --- Disputed the police version of why de Menezes was killed 

  • BBC News story 26 days later --- after Mr De Menezes was shot 
  • Said --- Jean Charles de Menezes was restrained before being shot eight times.  
  • Lana Vandenbergh leaked the true version and said Mr de Menezes was being restrained by a community officer when he was shot by armed police.

IPCC also dismissed the 'Police Report' why Jean Charles De Menezes was shot and killed

The Independent Police Complaints Committee (IPCC) documents said:  

Mr C de Menezes   

Shooting people in the head is ---- Not a shoot to kill policy' said, ---- Ass. Comm. Steve House.   

NO ONE CAN EVER BELIEVE THE POLICE AGAIN ----- after this ---- unadulterated nonsense

Click here - (MP3 Audio)  to hear the 'BBC Panorama' documentary interview with:

Ass. Comm. Steve House Central Operations Metropolitan Police.

With 'His' 'unconvincing ludicrous statement '  

 

  1. That shooting someone in the head is 'NOT' a shoot to kill policy  

  2. but merely to 'Immediate Incapacitate them.'

  3. (What rubbish)
    (It should take less than 10 seconds for the audio to play depending on the type of your computer)

 

Shoot to kill since at least 1999 ---- Police 'Shoot to kill' is not a new policy.

Other unarmed innocent people are shot with the same 'Lame excuse'. I thought my life was in danger.

  • James Ashley Shot getting out of bed at 3am to see who was breaking into his home

  • Mr Harry Stanley  innocently walking home also shot in the head as a IRA terrorist

  • Jean Charles De Menezes innocent man just going to work. Shot 7 times in his head is at least the 2nd innocent man shot and killed ---  by the police as a terrorist.

More evidence ---- POLICE DO NOT SHOUT A WARNING THEY ARE ARMED POLICE

Scotland Yard's CO19 firearms police unit are very stupid. These are suppose to be the top specialist highly-trained firearms intelligence officers against terrorists.

They have never heard of a "dead man" switch? A button that has to be kept pressed, or a mercury switch that triggers if someone falls to the ground, what is the point of "shoot to kill". These methods are very basic but enough to kill everyone around a bomber.  I will not explain many more sensitive methods to trigger circuits I don't want to give anyone ideas.

 

 

 I thought my life was in danger 

This is the 'SAME LAME EXCUSE' the police use every time they kill innocent men or women.

Many more people have been shot and killed or died soon after arrest in very suspect circumstances.

Many 100's of people killed by strangleholds

Not one Police officer guilty of any offence

The list gets longer and longer when innocent men, women and children are killed by English police and no one is ever responsible

  • They always give the same 'Lame excuse'. When they are protected by a bullet proof jacket and helmet

  • I thought my life was in danger. 

  • The people who thought it was safe to give these police a gun should be sacked

  •  

  • 5yo John Shorthouse  Shot and killed - Hiding under the bed scared as hell as police break into his fathers house screaming and shouting.

  • Mr James Ashley Shot and killed  - a naked man getting out of bed at 3am in the morning 

  • Mr Harry Stanley Shot and killed  - just walking home 

  • Mr De Menezes Shot 7 times in the head killed  sitting down on a train going to work

  • and many many more unarmed men are shot and killed

Shoot to kill on sight 
It's not only bombers the general public has to worry about it's the ---- London CO 19 unit police officers ---- who have a   'shoot to kill on sight'   policy knowing the law protects them against prosecution.

Shoot the terrorist - the mugger etc - not innocent people
If the police kill enough people they are bound to shoot a terrorist one day. 

  • Not many people will say anything if the police shoot a terrorist ... 

  • Why do police always shoot innocent people 

  • Mr Harry Stanley and now Jean Charles de Menezes. Both innocent men shot in the head as terrorists.

  •  

  • Shoot the car tyre's of thugs (when you can) who steal cars, to stop them running off the road and killing innocent people.

  • Shoot house breakers, muggers,  who kill people when they rob house holders many are pensioners.   

The excuse I was just following orders was dismissed at the Nuremburg trials 

When is someone going to charge and convict the murdering policeman? 
The policeman who executed an innocent citizen should be tried. If found guilty of murder (and I find it difficult to see how he could not be) then he should be sentenced to life imprisonment.

If a senior officer gave the order to shoot they should also be arrested and tried.

In reality, I suspect that everyone concerned will be given huge amounts of compensation and pensioned off. 

Or given a promotion like Commander Cressida Dick

Promotion for the 'gold' commanding officer IN CHARGE  

19 February 2007 Deputy Assistant Commissioner Cressida Dick was the commander responsible for the operation that ultimately led to the Brazilian's Jean Charles de Menezes 27yo SHOT 7 TIMES IN THE HEAD AND INSTANTLY KILLED

 Deputy Assistant Commissioner Cressida Dick has been promoted  to 'Deputy assistant commissioner'.
MPA Chair Len Duvall said. "Candidates were chosen on the basis of their application and ability.

'Incompetent' means someone who is not competent to take effective action. Not that they should be promoted

( No wonder police shot innocent people as terrorist)

In 2007, an Old Bailey jury found the Metropolitan Police guilty of breaching health and safety laws, after hearing about the events leading up to
Mr de Menezes being shot.

You are a terrorist - So you can surrender

It is ODD that when Scotland Yard's CO19 firearms police unit do find terrorist bombers they don't shoot them. 


(Which is more intelligent so that you can find out more about them ....... and who they know)

IN 'HONG KONG' Ordinary people USE THEIR MOBILES ....  'DEEP' UNDERGROUND .... ON THE MTR (Mass Transit Railway)  

THIS COULD HAVE SAVED Jean Charles de Menezes 'LIFE'

POLICE KNEW THEIR RADIO'S DIDN'T WORK UNDERGROUND 

BUT THEY STILL GO AND SHOOT AN INNOCENT MAN KNOWING THAT THE POLICE OFFICERS IN CONTROL OF THE OPERATION CANNOT SPEAK TO THEM ON THEIR RADIO'S to give any last minute information as to who they are following

It's very odd that police say their radios DO NOT WORK  on the London underground. When ordinary people in Hong Kong can use an ordinary mobile on their underground.

John Stevens said when he was Met Commissioner, he had done all he could to put pressure on the Home Office to provide specialist radios. "It was a major issue, because if we did not have proper communication with our officers down in the Tube, we were going to have problems. Today the situation is still no different. Police officers do have the new state-of-the-art "Airwave" radios but they still don't work deep underground. We should get the Hong Kong MTR railways to be in charge of communications

Ignore the advice from the Israel Police

Chief Inspector Martin Rush (Israel police) was asked if his officers actually have to see a suicide jacket, or what they think may be a suicide jacket, before they open fire. "NO", he replied.

( Israel police have to see that a suspect has a bomb vest. English police go all the way to Israel then ignored this advice from the Israel police.)

Which shows how irresponsible the Scotland Yard's CO19 firearms police unit really is.
Officers like Commander Cressida Dick who get promotion

But she gets the last laugh.  

She gets well paid for not being professional and lacking in her ability and judgment.

Patricia da Silva Armani, Mr Menezes' cousin, said:  

  • "The idea that police officers who were responsible for Jean's killing are being promoted makes me feel sick. 
  • "Not only did they take away Jean's life that day but they also took away part of mine, yet their lives continue as normal. 
  • To promote Commander Cressida Dick is disgraceful." 
  • "By promoting officers before the legal process is complete they are sending out a message that these police officers are above the law and have already been exonerated."

(Paul Whitehouse, chief constable of Sussex Police
Promoted two officers involved in shooting and killing Mr Ashley)

FROM THE EDITOR 
Patricia da Silva Armani --- I have to inform you 

1. There is an ---- 'Unwritten English law' ---- that police officers will not be charged for killing innocent people which are known as a 'Death in custody.'
2. The law is there to protect the police NOT justice for Jean Charles De Menezes or you and your family.
(Or anyone else killed by the police)
3. This web site will show you how the law works against you to stop police being charged and convicted.

*****************************

1983 shooting of film editor Stephen Waldorf in Kensington, west London. (Not shot in the head)

Mr Waldorf was shot five times but survived after being mistaken for escaped prisoner called David Martin.

The confusion apparently arose because police mistook Mr Waldorf for Mr Martin, partly because they both had long hair and partly because Mr Waldorf was accompanied by Mr Martin's girlfriend Sue Stephens

The police know that anyone they kill --- IN ANY WAY' --- is soon forgotten until they kill the next innocent victim - then that will soon be forgotten

Who knows .. one day the law may get a guilty conscience and immediately charge them

England is no better than countries that we point a finger at
when innocent people are killed by the police who are never charged

A Police officers 'LAME EXCUSE' when they kill an 'Innocent Unarmed person'

My Life was in danger

Just saying My LIFE WAS IN DANGER IS NOT EVIDENCE -- But they don't have to prove it

This is the LAW OF ENGLAND That so many men women and children have died for in 2 world wars
Harry Stanley - 22 Sept 1999 - Father of 3 children  Father of 3 children 

Shot by London CO19 police  - Killed instantly 22 Oct 1999

Murdered by English police just walking home

The definition of murder: [Murder must be intentional and pre-meditated. Kill intentionally and with premeditation]

A man from a pub phones the police an says a man has a sawn-off shotgun. 

  1. The police who don't know anything about the man who made the call. 
  2. If he is drunk or not  .... or if what he said is reliable. 
  3. Police still go and shoot Harry Stanley on the flimsiest of evidence. 
  4. Some reports say the call was for a joke.
  5. This is seen by the police to justify them shooting and killing an innocent man.
  6. This casts serious doubts on the police intelligence
  7. May 12, 2005 Police inspector Neil Sharman, was promoted to chief inspector which shows the confidence the police have that NO POLICE OFFICER WILL EVER BE CHARGED WITH MURDER
  8. Both officers said  Mr Stanley had turned round to face them, assuming a “classic firing position"  ('LIES')
  9. Medical evidence PROVES THE POLICE LIED.
    When you prove this beyond doubt. All their other evidence cannot be believed

  10. Mr H Stanley could only walk painfully after an operation for colon cancer. He also had difficulty 'Walking, Bending and Raising his arms.'

  11. When the police 'Fairy tale' is proved to be a lie by pathologist and ballistics experts  both the officer are not charged with murder or dismissed. 

  12. Which shows the type of officer the police want to employ

  13. Inspector Neil Sharman also said he aimed at body ... but by accident he shot Mr Stanley in the head.

  14. I wonder how long police can go on spreading the distortions and misrepresentations of facts 

  15. Police can perjure themselves without penalty

  16.  

  17. It was a criminal act followed by an ill-conceived cover-up. criminal act followed by an ill-conceived cover-up. 

  18. How many times do we have to prove a police officer lies and their attempt to obstruct justice, in order to get the police and the CPS to charge them.

Inspector Sharman from only 15 feet away shot Mr Harry Stanley in the side of the head as he was turning around.

The fatal entry wound was at the back left side of his head and not the front right of his skull, as would be expected if the officers story were true. (So the police LIED)

20th October 2005 The IPCC also said the accounts of the two officers "lacked credibility".

Harry Stanley was shot in the side of the head only a few yards from his house by Inspector Neil Sharman and in the hand by Pc Kevin Fagan 

(Showing both officers had lied they had said  Mr Stanley had turned round to face them, assuming a “classic firing position")  

 

A Home Office pathologist

Who examined Harry’s bullet wounds also said the position of entry and exit holes to his head indicated he was “slightly facing away”.


This is one more of the worst cases of the law protecting police officers that murder an innocent man just walking home and what the law can do to stop the police from being convicted.

June 2002 Coroner Dr Stephen Chan told an inquest jury 'NOT' to consider a verdict of 'Unlawful killed" 

  1. Ignoring all the evidence from Dr David Rouse Home Office pathologist and Peter Brooks, a ballistics expert'  
  2. Dr Stephen Chan did not allow the crucial ballistics evidence to be heard,
  3. The Coroner Dr Stephen Chan told the inquest jury 'NOT' to consider a verdict of unlawful killing 
  4. The Inquest jury were forced to give an 'Open verdict'.
  5. This deliberate biased interference with the jury was overturned. 
  6. When he ignored the  'Scientific Forensic' evidence.  

Oct 2004 At the second Inquest the Jury gave an 'Unlawfully Killed' verdict. 

At that hearing, Dr Andrew Reid, the St Pancras coroner

  • Gave the jury the option to consider an unlawful killing verdict 
  •  
  • Expert reports show Mr Stanley couldn't  have been facing the police as Inspector Neil Sharman and PC Kevin Fagan had claimed.
  • Dr David Rouse Home Office pathologist told St Pancras Coroner's Court in London that a bullet entered the head from the rear above Mr Stanley's left ear and exited slightly higher on the other side. Not from the front
  • The position of entry and exit holes to his head indicated he was “slightly facing away”.

  • Peter Brooks, a ballistics expert with the National Forensic Science Service, told the inquest that Mr Stanley's head was "rotated 110 degrees to his right ..... AWAY ..... from the direction in which the shots were fired".

  • The Jury gave an 'Unlawfully Killed' verdict.

Unlawfully killed verdict of an 'Inquest jury' - OVERTURNED

This shows the police can then find a High court judge' sitting alone behind closed doors who will overturn an 'Unlawfully killed' verdict of the Inquest jury.

12 May 2005 Mr Justice Leveson sitting alone in the 'High court' quashed the Inquest jury verdict of  'Unlawfully killed'. The family was refused permission to appeal.

Mr Justice Leveson sitting alone in the High court gives a verdict the  police want ...... with no fresh evidence to do so

Ignoring all the evidence from the 2nd 'Inquest' and ignoring the evidence from

  • Dr David Rouse Home Office pathologist and 

  • Peter Brooks, a ballistics expert'

The evidence Mr Justice Leveson ignored.

  1. Ignoring all evidence from Dr David Rouse Home Office pathologist and Peter Brooks, a ballistics expert' 
  2. Expert reports show Mr Stanley couldn't  have been facing the police as Inspector Neil Sharman and PC Kevin Fagan had claimed.
  3.  
  4. A man from a 'PUB' phones the police
  5. The police 'DO NOT' know if he is reliable or if he is a known practical joker
  6. Police still go and shoot Mr Harry Stanley on the flimsiest of evidence. 
  7. It was reported the call was for a joke.
  8.  
  9. This is seen by the police to justify them shooting and killing an innocent man.
  10. This casts serious doubts on the intelligence of the police.
  11. Police can shoot an innocent man on the flimsiest of evidence who is no threat to the police in any way.
  12. This cast serious doubts on the intelligence of the judge who  Overturned the 2nd 'Inquest jury verdict of Unlawfully killed. 

Police not in any danger

Mr Harry Stanley didn't creep up behind the police. They creep up behind him

When Mr Harry Stanley was shot and killed just walking home  

  • There is "NO EVIDENCE' to suggest
  • Inspector Sharman and Pc Kevin Fagan
  • Were in any danger of being shot other than them saying so.
  •  
  • But they would obviously say anything to justify shooting an unarmed man.

Any danger the police wrongly thought they were in, was because they put themselves in that position. Hide behind the car you just got out of. Kids playing cowboys and Indians know that

POLICE MURDER INNOCENT PEOPLE 

  • Edmund Lawson QC has confirmed what so many families have known for years that police murder innocent people.
  • Edmund Lawson QC, representing Ch Insp Sharman, had asked the High Court to rule the second inquest "defective" and the verdict to be quashed. 
  • He said: 'Unlawful killed' verdict amounted to "murder by the police"

Scientific Forensic evidence 

Inspector Sharman Is asking intelligent people to believe he must be the worst police marksman in the world.

  • From only 15 feet away the inspector said .... he aimed
    at Mr H Stanley's BODY 
  • But his aim was so bad he shot Mr Stanley in the head????
  •  
  • The other officer Pc Kevin Fagan must also be blind
  • He told the jury he was convinced he was "looking down the barrel of a shotgun. 
  • The only person looking at a gun was
    Mr H Stanley - just before you both shot and killed him

Remembering  THEY BOTH LIED ABOUT  Mr Stanley turned in a “smooth fluid motion”, pointing the table leg at them. THIS IS ANOTHER FAIRY TALE

This cast serious doubts on the intelligence of the judge who  Overturned the 2nd 'Inquest jury verdict of Unlawfully killed. 


A Judge
in a very high profile English case said, "If you prove the defendant has lied .... what are you left with."  Then the defendant was found guilty.

(This rule of law obviously doesn't apply if your a policeman)

Surrey Police Investigation 
June 2005 An investigation by Surrey police showed that there were questions raised by the story of the two police officers and they were arrested on suspicion of murder, gross negligence, manslaughter and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS)  In Oct 2005

The CPS announced they would not be bringing murder charges against the officers. They said there was insufficient evidence to charge any police officer for gross negligence, manslaughter and misconduct in a public office.
(They always say that by ignoring any evidence this time from the  ,,,, 'Surrey police force' investigation authority)

After the CPS themselves said:

  • CPS judged that the scientific and expert evidence contradicted the account given by the two officers. 

  • The officers' accounts of the position of his head and the bag were wrong, a CPS official confirmed.

  •  

  • The CPS admitted that the evidence appeared to indicate that Mr. Stanley may have been shot as he began to turn towards the officers, which contradicted the statements provided by them

  • The CPS also concluded that there was sufficient evidence to show the officers haste and lack of planning led them to breach their duty of care to Stanley and cause his death

  •  

  • But the CPS still refuse to charge the police officers

  • The fatal entry wound was at the back left side of his head and not the front right of his skull, as would be expected if the officers story were true. [So the police lied]

  •  

  • Then the CPS ignore all the evidence against the police and don't charge them. 

  •  

  • The CPS should be charged with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.

Her Majesty's Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate (HMCPSI) reports to the Attorney General.

These inspectors examine the way in which the CPS relates to the public, through its dealings with victims and witnesses, its external communication and liaison, its handling of complaints and its applications of the public interest test contained in the Code for Crown Prosecutors.

BUT NO ONE EVER HEARS THEM DO ANYTHING WHEN THE CPS IGNORE EVIDENCE AGAINST THE POLICE AND REFUSES TO CHARGE THE POLICE OFFICERS

Deborah Coles, coordinator of pressure group Inquest, said: 

  • "This decision (not to charge police officers) follows a pattern of cases where police officers whose conduct has led to death.

  •  

  • "It shows that  the rule of law does 'Not' apply to police officers." 

  •  

  • "How can we accept that the shooting dead of an unarmed man does not result in a trial where .... 'a jury' .... decides whether the actions were unlawful?"

Friday November 5, 2004 The rule of law does not apply equally to those in police uniform.

Slanderous attack on the character of Mr H Stanley (the victim) 

Deborah Glass from the PCA to the IPCC different name but the same person who protects the police and 'BLACKEN's the victims character

Defended 'NOT' taking disciplinary action against the police officers who shot and killed Harry Stanley as he was just walking home. 

Have you investigated the officers character in the same way. They are the assailants not Mr Stanley he was the victim

Murdered by English police

Sept 1999: Mr Stanley shot dead
4 December, 2000 The CPS said the two officers would not face criminal charges.

June 2002: Inquest jury returns 'Open verdict'  because Coroner refused the jury to consider an 'Unlawfully killed' verdict. This biased ruling was overturned.

April 2003: High Court orders new inquest
Oct 2004: Inquest returns 'Unlawful killing verdict'
May 2005: High Court judge (Sitting alone behind closed doors) quashes second inquest verdict of Unlawfully killed
June 2005: Two officers arrested

An investigation by Surrey police showed that there were questions raised by their story and the officers were arrested on suspicion of murder, gross negligence, manslaughter and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.

20th October 2005 The Crown Prosecution Service again said today there was "insufficient evidence" to charge the pair.
(The CPS never charge police officer for any death no matter how it happens. Unless a High Court judge forces them to)

**********************

This shows how the police try to stop the police from being investigated correctly and charged.
The family lawyer for the Stanley family found out that:
The Surrey PCA investigation was being advised by the firearms inspector responsible for the two officers who shot and killed Harry Stanley As a result, that adviser was replaced. 

Secret Police Report By Surrey Constabulary, (the police force that killed Mr H Stanley) which was completed in April 2000, was covered by a 'PUBLIC INTEREST IMMUNITY CERTIFICATE  meaning the meaning it will remain secret.

**********************

Police WITHHOLD EVIDENCE FOR 6 years  

4 bullets fired NOT 2 
In January 2005, as part of the CPS review following the unlawful killing verdict, investigators were reported to have discovered significant new forensic evidence two bullet holes to the top left shoulder of the jacket that Harry Stanley was wearing when he was shot. 

**************

This is the unconvincing 'Quote' every officer gives
Read from the police manual 

A judge will except this because this is the 'Loop Hole' the law has so police cannot be found guilty of shooting .... or in any way .... killing innocent people

No police officer has ever been -- killed or injured -- wearing a bullet proof jacket and helmet

**************************************

Killed instantly 

Three 'Unlawfully killed' verdicts against the police are quashed. The police can always find a judge to agree with the verdict they want

Leon Patterson  Unlawfully Killed changed to Misadventure to which neglect contributed.

Harry Stanley A High Court judge quashed an inquest verdict of unlawfully killed by the police. 

Roger Sylvester A High Court judge quashed an inquest verdict of unlawfully killed by the police.

**************************************

High Court judge Mr Justice Leveson 
The High court Judge quashed an Unlawfully Killed verdict against the police officers.

Ignoring evidence from Scientific Forensic evidence that the police lied.

His ruling is also against the rights of the Magna Carta of 1215

  • Since the Magna Carta (negotiated between King John's government and his subjects in 1215AD)
    We have had a jury system in England which states 'lawful judgment of his peers' (the peers are the jury). 
  • THIS DOES NOT MEAN ONE JUDGE ACTING ALONE
  • Trial by jury was first enshrined in English law in what has been seen as the world's first proclamation of human rights - the Magna Carta.
  • But now Edmund Lawson QC doesn't agree with the Magna Carta of 1215 and he finds a judge that agrees with him that a jury shouldn't give a verdict on the evidence. 
  •  
  • When ordinary people appeal  
  • An appeal against a verdict will not be given just because you  don't like the verdict.

 
Editor Notes

Assault charges
The families have a right to know, For all deaths in custody

Have any of the police officers been accused of violence or assault or causing a death before or has their character been questioned.

If so how many times, whether substantiated or not. Because we know how the PCA cover up violence from the police in the past.

Has he any problems at home or work. Does he have any extremist or moderate views.

How many times has he been on a fire arms alert engagement

13 October 2006

Report from Dr Lewinski, professor of sociology at Minnesota State University. USA

Police are now really desperate to justify killing Mr Stanley
The CPS and police have to go to the USA and see Dr Lewinski to try to justify how Mr Stanley was shot.  It shows how desperate the police are not to charge the police officers for killing Mr Harry Stanley.

Dr Lewinski in the USA said that in the two seconds it takes an officer to draw and pull the trigger, a suspect can fire nine rounds.
A person can turn and move as much as 13ft (4m) in one second.

NOT WHEN THE POLICE ALREADY HAVE GUNS IN THEIR HANDS
Inspector Sharman and PC Kevin Fagan where aiming their guns as
Mr H Stanley was turning around
and he could only walk painfully after an operation for colon cancer.

The two officers that shot Mr Harry Stanley had the guns in their hands and already aiming their guns so Dr Lewinski theory in this case is CRAP.

A Home Office pathologist who examined Harry’s bullet wounds said the position of entry and exit holes to his head indicated he was “slightly facing away”.

This proves Mr H Stanley was hit in the side of the head. IT DOES NOT PROVE HE WAS TURNING AWAY. 'It Proves' Mr Stanley had not completed turning around to face the police when he was shot.

Let police kill with no prosecutions 

John Mackenzie the lawyer who represented two policemen who shot and killed Mr Stanley on a London street has called for police to be granted immunity if they kill while on duty.

John Mackenzie said an Indemnity Act would protect officers from criminal and civil prosecution in the event of a death.

Terry Stewart secretary of the Justice for Harry Stanley Campaign, said:

“There has never been a conviction of an officer for shooting an unarmed member of the public, so calling for immunity is nonsense.

There is no need for 'Immunity Act' because they’ve already got it.

LIES FROM 

Deborah Glass IPCC Independent Police Complaints Commission

29 October 2004 On the IPCC web site report Deborah Glass, IPCC Commissioner said:
“There is a need for further research into whether there are more effective methods for firearms officers in dealing with vulnerable people,  such as those impaired by alcohol, as Mr Stanley was. (implying Mr H Stanley had been drinking alcohol

 

Deborah Glass IPCC Your statement is shown to be a lie by the following report 2 years earlier from a 'Court of law' where the FACTS HAVE TO BE TRUTHFUL

Tuesday, 29th April 2002 King's College London, Royal Courts of Justice.

THE QUEEN ON THE APPLICATION OF
STANLEY v HER MAJESTY'S CORONER FOR INNER NORTH LONDON

Before MR JUSTICE SILBER:

Clearly states  

Introduction

1. On 22nd September 1999 Mr Henry Stanley was shot by Inspector Sharman and Police Constable Fagan ("the officers"), who were then serving as firearms police officers of the Metropolitan Police Firearms Unit SO19. 

Mr Stanley, who had been returning from his brother's home carrying a coffee table leg which had been repaired by his brother. On his way home he decided to stop at the Alexandra Public House to buy some lemonade.  

Other reports say the same thing Mr H Stanley was drinking lemonade

Deborah Glass from the PCA to the IPCC different name but the same people protect the police and 'BLACKEN' the victims character.

No one should believe anything you ever say again.

 

ENGLISH JUSTICE IS A FARCE

 WHEN IT ALLOWS SO MANY POLICE/People TO LIE AND NOT CHARGE THE POLICE/People WITH CONSPIRACY TO PERVERT THE COURSE OF JUSTICE. .... 

Then Coroner Dr Stephen Chan conducts a one sided biased hearing to stop the police officers being charged.

LIES FROM  Deborah Glass IPCC Independent Police Complaints Commission

29 October 2004 On the IPCC web site report Deborah Glass, IPCC Commissioner said:

Implied Mr H Stanley had been drinking alcohol. Saying Such people are often less likely to react rationally (Mr Harry Stanley had in fact been drinking LEMONADE.)

Police lied -----how Mr Harry Stanley was shot 
The police claim Mr Stanley turned in a smooth fluid motion”, pointing the table leg at them. (So police say Mr H Stanley was facing them)
MEDICAL EVIDENCE PROVED Mr H Stanley had difficulty 'Walking, Bending down and difficulty Raising his arms' after an operation for 'Colon cancer.'

A Home Office pathologist

Who examined Harry’s bullet wounds also said the position of entry and exit holes to his head indicated he was slightly facing away. (Not facing the police as they claimed)

 The coroner - Dr Stephen Chan should be charged - with abuse of power for conducting a biased 1st Inquest. The verdict which was quashed 

  1. The Coroner Dr Stephen Chan told the inquest jury 'NOT' to consider a verdict of unlawful killing 
  2. He stopped the  'Scientific Forensic' evidence'  being presented
  3. Tim Owen QC, the family barrister, tried to question Inspector Sharman, Dr Chan admonished him, saying, ‘This is not a back door to a trial.’
  4. The Inquest jury were forced to give an 'Open verdict'.
  5. Many other decisions were an abuse of power by the Corner.
  6. This deliberate biased interference with the jury was overturned at a second 'Inquest.'


This is English LAW - When the police kill innocent men, women and children.
THE LAW IS THERE TO PROTECT THE POLICE
NOT TO SEE JUSTICE FOR THE VICTIM OR THEIR FAMILY

Who represents the family in an English court when an innocent man or women is killed by the police
NOT THE POLICE and the CPS - they have always refused to charge the officer/s

Sarah Thomas 35yo - 6th Aug 1999 

Died in very suspicious circumstances. Was she alone and attacked in a cell?

Sarah died after being in a two-day coma following her arrest, in front of her house in Finsbury Park, London, in the early hours of Wednesday 4 August 1999.

Over £1 million has been paid  by the Metropolitan Police, out of public funds, to people taking successful action against officers at Stoke Newington Police Station for wrongful arrest, unlawful violence etc.

14 June 2000 - UK Director of Amnesty International, Kate Allen - report
The report underlined three deaths in police custody in the UK - Roger Sylvester in January, Sarah Thomas in August and Barry Stanley in November - as having "disputed circumstances"
.

  • The PCA police 'Unsupervised' investigation  was carried out by the Metropolitan Police's Complaints Investigation Bureau. 
  • Police from the same police area that is responsible for the death of Sarah Thomas

A FIT HEALTHY young woman HAS A FIT? - So the police say - No medical evidence to prove this

A Chinese woman architectural design student at North London University Sarah was a healthy 35 year old with no police record and no record of fits.

The police said she was arrested using restraint in North London 

  • for what the police described as acting suspicious outside her own flat. 
  • THE ONLY THING THAT IS SUSPICIOUS IS THE POLICE MOTIVE FOR THE ARREST by the two plain clothes police officers
  • She was locked out and was JUST waiting for her boyfriend Paul Doyle outside their flat in Finnsbury Park in North London. 


Then at the police station the police said 
....  'she suffered a fit' .... ( A fit healthy women has a fit? ) 

  1. Why would a healthy girl have a fit. No medical evidence to prove this. Just police issuing false information again.
  2. So it seems Sarah Thomas was not ... ' Restrained' ... while being arrested ...  
  3. but excessively restrained at the police station. .... Why and for what reason? 
  4. 90% of Chinese woman are just over 5ft tall very slim build ... which beggars the question why was Police Restraint of any type necessary?
  5. Reports say by the time she reached Homerton Hospital she was in a coma.  
  6. Where she died 2 days later
  7. (It seems more likely Sarah Thomas was in a coma at the police station before being taken to hospital.)
  8. There is NO medical evidence that Sarah had a fit 

  9. The police are withholding all information as to how Sarah Thomas died 
  10. Which shows the police have something to hide

Rodger Sylvester another 'Coma' victim
It's more likely Sarah Thomas went into a coma at the police station because of excessive 'Restraint' like Roger Sylvester who was also critically ill in a coma before he died in Jan 1999 only 7 months earlier

Unanswered questions:

  1. At the police station was Sarah Thomas charged and put in a cell alone? 

  2. There is NO medical evidence to say Sarah Thomas had a fit' 
    This is just the police cover up statement.' 
  3. Why would a healthy women have a .... 'Fit' ...  in a cell ?
  4. Was Sarah Thomas at any time alone in cell, if so for how long?
  5. If Sarah was in a cell alone was it sealed as a crime scene to see if Sarah was attacked in the cell?
  6. Was a 'Post Mortem' carried out?
    No report has said one was carried out.
    One should be carried out for a death in custody in these circumstances
  1. It has to be remembered that many police officers have been convicted of attacking vulnerable women in the police station cells. 
  2. At least 33 police officer convicted of 'Rape, sexual or indecent assault, on teenage girls and boys.
  3. PC Paul Miller found guilty of sexually assaulting  a 17yo Chinese school girl  jailed for five years after dragging her off the street into bushes.
  4. Sarah's arrest is seen by many as a 'Death in suspicious circumstances' without a full 'Public Inquiry'
  5. Now we have the IPCC we may get a truthful conclusion to what really happened to Sarah Thomas

Deborah Coles, co-director of Inquest, a campaign and advice group for people who have died in police custody, said 

  1. She was "disturbed and angered" by Ms Thomas's death. 
  2. "There has been an air of secrecy and confusion about her death.
  3. We can have no confidence in the PCA inquiry which relies on the police investigating other police," she said.

Sarah Thomas, a young, gifted, Chinese woman who was studying Architecture at Middlesex University, was arrested, according to the police, for "acting suspiciously", but collapsed and stopped breathing in Stoke Newington Police Station on 4th August 1999.
She was taken to hospital but never recovered consciousness and was pronounced dead on 6th August 1999.

Sarah's death was yet another death in suspicious circumstances involving the police at Stoke Newington Police Station which has one of the highest rates of death in custody, unlawful arrest and violence against those arrested, especially involving black and ethnic minority people.

Over £1 million has been paid by the Metropolitan Police, out of public funds, to people taking successful action against officers at
Stoke Newington Police Station for wrongful arrest, unlawful violence etc.


 The two ..... 'Plain clothes' ..... police officers involved in Sarah's arrest were not even been suspended from their duties. 

Paul Doyle, Sarah's partner, believes that a Police investigation will not provide him with the truth about what happened to Sarah. In countless cases, justice had been denied to the relatives of the dead because successive governments have refused to establish independent investigations in to deaths in police custody.

Jo Dobry, from the PCA, said: 

"This will be a very comprehensive investigation, including what happened prior to her arrest carried out. The result will be passed to the Coroner for the public inquest." 

Which in 'Real life' means the PCA will do anything to stop police officers being charged

1999 to 2007 No information of an ... 'Inquest' ... being carried out ... or any information of a 'Comprehensive police investigation

No medical information or evidence to prove Sarah Thomas had a fit 

  • Stoke Newington Police Station.
  • Has one of the highest rates of death in custody, unlawful arrest and violence against those arrested

There has been many more deaths in custody at Stoke Newington Police Station

Editor Notes

Not one police officer charged with causing the death of any of these people
Therefore the police are saying all these people would have died anyway on that day at that time even if the police had not arrested them.


NOT ONE OFFICER CHARGED WITH ANY DEATH 
  1. 2002 Mr Kwame Wiredu he was left laying on the police station floor for over half an hour. He was complaining of severe pains and was visibly distressed. He subsequently died. like Mr C Alder left on the police station floor to die. 
  2. 1999 6th Aug - Sarah Thomas  Just waiting outside her flat for her boyfriend. Died in suspicious circumstances after being taken from the police station in a coma.
  3. 1999 22nd Sept - Harry Stanley  Just walking home shot by SO19 police.
    It was the 11th death in five years involving the police in the Hackney and Stoke Newington area.
  4. 1994 Trevor Monerville suffered temporary paralysis and brain damage after being arrested by Stoke Newington Police
  5. 1994 Mr Lapite 34yo died  in Stoke Newington police station in December 1994 Inquest verdict unlawfully killed.
    He was found to have up to 45 injuries and died from asphyxiation after being held in a neck-hold. 
    All he was doing was crossing the road for a take-away
  6. 1987 Tunay Hassin died in the station. 
  7. 1983 Colin Roach died in the station. 
  8. 1978 Michael Ferraria died in the station.

  13. 1978 Michael Ferraria died in the station. 
  14. 1971 Aseta Sims died in the station.
  15. Vandana Patel was stabbed to death INSIDE the station. (No information as to how he was stabbed)

1994 PC Paul Evans from Stoke Newington, East London, was convicted of one charge of assault and one of affray but cleared of more serious charges. PC Evans, 10 years a police officer, will lose his job and his police pension. 


A Police officers 'LAME EXCUSE' when they kill an 'Innocent Unarmed person'

'My Life was in danger'

Just saying My LIFE WAS IN DANGER IS NOT EVIDENCE -- But they don't have to prove it

This is the LAW OF ENGLAND That so many men women and children have died for in 2 world wars

If your a policeman you can shoot anyone and say your life was in danger 

Even when it's a 5yo boy --- hiding under a bed because police storm into your house screaming and shouting and your scared as hell

The five-year-old boy was shot in the chest and was instantly killed  in a police raid on his home in Birmingham

The 'Unwritten English law' - No police officer must ever be charged and found guilty of deliberating shooting and killing an innocent person or child
PC Brian Chester stood trial for manslaughter and was 'FOUND NOT GUILTY'

An innocent child .... NO THREAT TO THE POLICE in any way is shot and killed

Now we know what we have always believed

  • The police shoot first 
  • WITH NO WARNING
  • Then THE LAW WILL PROTECT THEM FROM BEING CONVICTED 
  • for killing men, women and children.

Even when your a 5yo boy hiding under the bed because the police are shouting and screaming as they raid the house and the little lad was scared as hell.

  • Then a policeman sees you under the bed and shoots you.
  • PC Brian Chester, stood trial for manslaughter and was 'FOUND NOT GUILTY
  • Assistant Chief Constable of West Midlands, Paul Leopold said "Other officers had been in the room before this officer and they had no idea anybody was in there.

  • So it is obvious the 5yo was under the bed
1985: 
5yo boy killed in police raid 

The five-year-old boy 5yo boy John who was the eldest of 3 brothers was shot and killed in a police raid on his fathers home in Birmingham.

5yo John Shorthouse was killed after armed officers stormed into his home looking for his father, also named John.

The boy was shot in the chest as the police officer searched under his bed.

He was carried to a police car and pronounced dead at the hospital

PC Brian Chester is a 36-year old constable with 16-years service in the West Midlands force.

In 1986 the officer who shot 5yo John Shorthouse, PC Brian Chester, stood trial for manslaughter but was acquitted

Mistaken identity and shot - more and more innocent people shot and killed by the police.

14 Jan 1983: Stephen Waldorf shot and seriously wounded 

Shooting of film editor Stephen Waldorf in Kensington, west London.

Mr Stephen Waldorf was shot five times but survived after police mistakenly thought he was a dangerous escaped prisoner called David Martin.

Two police officers were eventually acquitted of attempted murder in connection with the Waldorf case.

Police say lessons were learnt and the ACPO guidelines were drawn up in an attempt to prevent a repetition.

 

Paul Boateng

April 13, 1999 Home Office minister Paul Boateng

Mr Peach, a schoolteacher, died from a blow to the head. Eleven witnesses claimed to have seen members of the Metropolitan Police Special Patrol Group (SPG) hitting Mr Peach in a side-street at the height of the violence. No officers were charged with the alleged attack.

Paul Boateng from the Home Office said what could be gained out of the "tragedy" of Mr Peach's death. "Lessons have been learned from the circumstances of his death

What the police have learnt is .... NO police officer will ever be charged and convicted for killing innocent men and women and children

Don't the public and families of innocent people killed get fed up of the 'Infamous phrase' LESSON WILL BE LEARNT'.


2 more Mistaken identity men shot and both killed AGAIN - Is the 3rd 20th or 50th or more times police shoot innocent men

Police infamous quote - LESSON WILL BE LEARNT'.   

  • It didn't stop Harry Stanley 22 Sept 1999 and

  • Charles de Menezes 22 July 2005 both shot and killed after being mistaken for terrorists.

  • The police had over 15 years to get it right. 

  • Most police are incompetent but it sounds good to say 'Lesson will be learnt.'

  • Shoot the muggers
  • Shoot the burglars
  • Shoot the car thieves before they run off the road and kill innocent people. 
  • It is only the do-gooders that will moan.
  •  
  • Don't the police ever shoot the right person - It's the police that are a threat to public safety.

This is English Law - When the police kill innocent men, women and children.
THE LAW IS THERE TO PROTECT THE POLICE
NOT TO SEE JUSTICE FOR THE VICTIM OR THEIR FAMILY

Who represents the VICTIM and their family in an English court when an innocent man or women is killed by the police
NOT THE POLICE and the CPS - they have always refused to charge the officer/s

My LIFE WAS IN DANGER

 No police officer has ever been -- killed or injured -- wearing a bullet proof jacket and helmet

  • So why did. The police and the CPS very quickly arrest --- charge --- and convict 
    "BARRY LEE HASTINGS" and "CARL LINDSAY" and "TONY MARTIN" who are in 'Real danger of their own and families life' ... against armed burglars.

  • Put in prison for defending themselves and their families in their own house 
  •  
  • OBVIOUSLY THE SAME LAW that protects police from killing innocent people in their own homes 
  • DOESN'T APPLY TO INNOCENT LAW ABIDING CITIZENS PROTECTING THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES 
  •  
  • From being attacked by
    'Armed burglars' ....  IN THEIR OWN HOME

 

This is the unconvincing 'Quote' every officer gives
Read from the police manual 

A judge will except this because this is the 'Loop Hole' the law has so police cannot be found guilty of shooting .... or in any way .... killing innocent people

  

Unlawful act/constructive manslaughter

  • A defendant is guilty of this sub-category of manslaughter if he intentionally does an act which is unlawful and dangerous which inadvertently causes death
    (DPP v Newbury [1977] AC 500 HL)

  • It is not necessary to prove that the unlawful and dangerous act was aimed at any person, or in particular the person whose death was caused
    (R v Mitchell [1983] QB 741 CA)

  • Neither is it necessary to prove that the defendant knew that his act was dangerous or unlawful
    (Newbury) and (R v 0wino, unreported 13 March 1995)

'Danger' is determined objectively. The act must be such that all sober and reasonable people would inevitably recognize that must subject the other person to at least the risk of some harm, even if not serious harm
(R v Church [1966] 1 QB 59)

The above cases show that the law doesn't apply to English police
