In Staggeringly Poor Taste
We would imagine that, in the midst of the inquest into the death of Jean Charles de Menezes, publications aimed at and widely read by serving police officers would show greater sensitivity in the way they talk about fatal shootings by the police.But evidently not. The magazine Police Review, in its 14 November edition, decided that the introduction of new rules preventing firearms officers from conferring after a shooting was best illustrated by this appalling cartoon.
Is this how the police view Jean's death too - as little more than the extermination of vermin?
