August 17

London

This morning, I took my Metro newspaper as usual and read the rather shocking news
about the leaked documents concerning the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes.
Jean Charles has been shot 7 times in the head by the police in the tube station. He was suspected to be a terrorist.
The news at that time stated a very different story from what appears to be the true facts.
Here is a link for more details: "Police shooting - the discrepancies" (BBC News)

My workplace is in Stockwell where this happened.
Not surprisingly, today there weren't any police in the station, only helicopters were hoovering all this morning above the station.

Here is a picture taken in the same place the day after.
Some people have re-arranged the little shrine just outside the Stockwell Station.

Good documentation of a very controversial and disturbing event.
