All in all a totally disgraceful episode in the history of our supposedly free country, and for someone closely involved with it to be promoted to the highest police rank just smells bad.

What.....like those f*ckers in charge at Hillsborough did??
Here's the thing - the logic for your determination of her guilt seems to go like this:
- She was in charge at one point of the operation
- We'll ignore the fact that she determined that he wasn't a threat (a fact supported by multiple pieces of evidence)
- A man was wrongfully shot later in the operation when she couldn't have had authority
- Therefore she must be guilty, sack her
Let's take another example...
- A man was at a house that might be suspect
- We'll ignore the fact that available information says he's not a suspect and that he didn't do anything suspicious
- Man gets on a train
- Man must be a threat, gets shot
Do you see why I have difficulty with this? Your logic for assigning guilt to her is disturbingly similar to that which got JCdM shot in the first place.
Surely we will need a tough cookie if the police notice that the 30 people giving evidence to Operation Conifer are making identical claims to the claims made by "Nick".
And Operation Midland is then re-opened......

As he arrived at Stockwell station another opportunity to stop Mr de Menezes before he went underground was missed. The gold commander in the control room, Cressida Dick, said that Mr de Menezes was to be stopped from getting on the Tube "at all costs", yet surveillance officers said they were never asked to stop and search Mr de Menezes outside – something they say they would have been able to do if asked. The jury said that the police's failure to use surveillance officers to intervene also contributed to his death.

I fail to see what part of that is hard to understand?

Now this is supposition on my part, but until you see all the evidence you cannot be fully informed. A jury acquitted her so in my book she's innocent. I wouldn't have appointed her as Met Police chief due to the controversy that would be caused.

Bearing that in mind the devasting nature of the killing of CDM was to prevent him setting of a bomb...anyhow a total tragedy for him and his family and dare i say those directly involved in shooting him
Another point; she never stood trial! No-one ever did, other than an inquest, which is not a criminal trial, so how this jury aquitted HER is beyond me?
In point of fact when she gave evidence, she did so under the explicit caveat that she was NOT facing criminal charges.
They did, FYI, find the Met guilty of a lack of DoC to JCdM.
