We’re told the man the police shot was not connected ot the recent bombings. He’s been named in a BBC report as 27 year old Jean Charles de Menezes - a Brazilian.
He emerged from a house that was under police surveillance.
When approached by officers he ran.
He leapt the tickets barriers and ran onto a train.
Witnesses saw a bomb belt and wires coming from his body.
But he’s got nothing to do with the terrorism in our streets.
I absolutely do not want to go down the road of conspiracy theories and I’ll choose ‘trust’ as my default attitude towards the security services. But this is going to take some explaining.
Why was this house being watched?
Who was this man?
Why did he run when challenged?
Were the witness reports of wires coming out of his body wrong?
If he was innocent then it is a truly horrible occurrence but until we have answers to basic questions then I for one am left a little sceptical.
British are killing their own innocent citizens when they act funny now. I’d be more afraid of the police than the terrorists.

Remember that to ‘act funny’ they have to emerge from flats that are under surveillance, run when challenged, leap over the ticket barriers and run onto a train -while the rest of us are on pretty high alert because there are people around willing to blow themselves up in order to blow us up.
This isn’t business as usual and it will be the police and associated security services who save your and my bacon at the end of the day…
