The Initial Report.

But two days later questions are being asked about the shooting of one of the men arrested and the family are threatening legal action.

And so we wait for news from the house at the centre of all this. Did they find any chemicals in the end at that place they raided last year?

I have to wonder why the hell they shot that guy. Was he waving a gun at them?

one version of events was that the guy who wasn't shot was carrying a gun, there was a struggle and unshot guy shot his own brother in some kind of struggle...

well yes, but I think it's best to exercise some caution abt that sort of rumour (esp. after the Jean Charles de Menezes business, when all the stories about how he had invited suspicion turned out to be absolute hooey).

Equally there should be some suspicion that the MET are not so monumentally stupid as to lie about the circumstances surrounding a police shooting less than a year after the De Menezes shooting.

I'd like to hope that the are not institutionally stupid, at least...

I really hope it turns out the cops did the right thing but it sure doesn't look like it right now.

STOP POLICE TERROR. DEFEND CIVIL LIBERTIES. JUSTICE FOR MUSLIMS.

Sunday 11th June, 2pm, Outside Scotland Yard.

RALLY FOR JUSTICE
The police raid in Forest Gate on June 2nd involving some 250 officers was one of the largest single raids in Britain. With the intensification of "terror raids" throughout the country and "trial-by-media" sensationalism, communities are under severe attack and must show unity.

STOP POLICE TERROR
The heavy-handed tactics of the police are proving counterproductive. Instead of increasing security, high profile police "terror" raids have only spread more fear.

JUSTICE FOR MUSLIMS
Despite the Government's boasts of a diversified society, the criminalisation of Muslim communities and rising Islamophobia are a direct result of Government policies.

DEFEND CIVIL LIBERTIES
The anti-terror legislation is eroding all of our civil rights and the Government intends to extend police powers without the need for accountability.

SUNDAY 11th JUNE
2pm
ASSEMBLE OUTSIDE SCOTLAND YARD
Nearest Tube: St James Park.

Just watched the press conference with the brothers and I'm in bits.

Still no police apology.

Apparently if the police didn't give a warning, they're in big trouble - but I don't see how they can do a warning if they really think a house is full of terrorists...
