He didn't run. Read the wiki article the other day and it's crazy how different the final account is to what we were being told around the time.

He didn't run (except for a train to get on it, after they had sat on a bus with him from Brixton station. They shot him sitting down on the train.), he didn't jump the barriers, he didn't have a puffer jacket on and didn't have headphone wires hanging out.

One of the biggest misconceptions about Jean Charles de Menezes is that he, at all, was running away, let alone that he jumped the barricade etc like so many people are sure he did.

He was sitting down on the train after walking through the station completely normally, even stopped to pick up a newspaper as he did.

The whole point of being a fubpee is to go "well actually" at people a lot. If there's an obvious solution you can't just accept it even if it's correct because then you couldn't "well actually" all the sheeple accepting it.

I think the time has come for all good citizens to acquire a discreet bodycam so any interactions with police persons can be recorded unobtrusively. I totally get many people will be frightened to get involved lest they themselves get body slammed to the ground, necks knelt on, tasered 10x more than a human heart can stand etc.

Anyone know anything about bodycams?

Every* citizen already has a HD camera in their pocket?

Or is the intention for the person being arrested to be the one making the recording? Because i'd imagine a discrete body cam might often spontaneously break on the journey from the arrest site to the cell.

I mean so someone could film an interaction without the Hofficer(s) noticing.
Pulling a camera or phone with a camera out of your pocket is hardly unobtrusive.
I was thinking something like a button or brooch. (Or have I been watching too many spy movies?)

PS this particular citizen doesn't take her phone with a camera in it out to play and only uses it when she wants to stay off the big laptop for a day or is going on holiday.

I'd be hoping for something with a 4g/5g connection that can stream the recording to A Cloud, if I were looking for something like that.

So basically a phone but I imagine the idea is to be a bit less obvious than holding it right up in front of your face.

Yup, I'm convinced that at some point in the immediate aftermath, the press must have done some memory implantation specifically about him jumping the barrier because everyone who brings that event up, including myself until recently, seem to remember that he jumped the ticket barrier and ran into the station.

Can't post today without saying: gently caress the police. I'm a morbid fan of horror who it takes a lot to shock, but the details of this case are so loving grim it takes my breath away. And the fact we've got the Labour leader saying what we need is more of these corrupt cunts, and Cressida Dick is his best friend, and and and. Can't believe they're trying to just say "WOW what an unbelievably bad apple!". There was an awful woman on BBC4 this morning, saying how great it was that the police have an internal anonymous line available to file complaints if they fear retaliation, and I'm just thinking, oh yeah, nice and anonymous if you say "Sergeant X sexually assaulted me in the changeroom", oh yeah, how will he ever know who lodged the complaint? gently caress they are bent beyond belief.

Completely different topic and I don't mean to be insensitive: my works given us a £350 "wellness payment" to buy something that makes us happy, which I thought was bloody decent tbh. I've been after a rice cooker for some time and thought it would be straightforward, but there's so many. Any recommendations? I wanted to go big with a Zojirushi, but the models available in the UK are apparently old tech, and don't fancy paying £300 for an outdated model. Looking at the Yum Asia Panda, anyone used it? Any others you like?

Onto lighter fare: I got a Tefal combination rice cooker/slow cooker a few years ago that I’ve been happy with. I mostly use the slow cooker for overnight porridge. Creamy.

Aye 'they' (the PTB) always do this.
Oh so we shot and killed unarmed Mr Doe, but did you know 15 years ago he beat his wife / stole a handful of sweets from the sweetie counter in Woolworths / conned an old lady out of £20 / didn't bag up his dog's poop / sold £10 worth of hash to someone.

So he deserved to die because all those offences are capital offences.

It was really heavily reported that he did, and I think the eventual conclusion was that it was one of the police who jumped the barrier and everybody "accidentally" got the story wrong .
