In Britain, an independent police oversight board has ruled that Britain’s top counterterrorism officer misled the public about the deadly shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes. De Menezes is the innocent Brazilian man who was shot dead after British police mistook him for a suicide bomber. The counterterrorism officer, Assistant Commissioner Andy Hayman, did not report that de Menezes was unarmed. That led London police chief Ian Blair to falsely announce de Menezes had refused to obey police instructions. On Thursday, Blair apologized to the victim’s family.

Ian Blair: “I want to say again that I am very sorry that some information released to the public was wrong and increased the grief to the de Menezes family. I hope, however, that the shortcomings which occurred will be seen in the light of both the extraordinary challenges that we faced and the significant steps we have since taken to improve.”

Prosecutors say they won’t charge any of the officers involved in the shooting. Speaking in London, de Menezes’ cousin Patricia da Silva Armani said their family has been denied justice.

Patricia da Silva Armani:”No one has been held responsible for anything. No one is going to be prosecuted. The police have been allowed to get away with murder.”
