UK police may face action over Brazilian’s death
2005-12-10
LONDON - British police involved in the fatal shooting of an innocent Brazilian man, gunned down in July by officers who thought he was a suicide bomber, might face criminal action, an independent watchdog said on Friday.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission said it was likely a report would be sent to Britain’s prosecution service when they complete their investigation into the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes at a London underground train station. The report is expected to be finished by mid-January.

“We think we will probably send a report to the Crown Prosecution Service,” an IPCC spokesman told Reuters.
Great thing about liberals and progressives: they're experts at everything after the fact.

#1  I'm sure the cops have nothing to worry about. The Crown Prosecutor will go through the motions, of course, for public consumption. OTOH, hopefully this isn't one of those cases where someone has to "take one for the team."
