Police "lies" over man shot by cops

THE MOTHER of a man gunned down by armed police has hit out at lies put out about her son. Tearful Susan Alexander accused the Metropolitan Police of spreading false information in the wake of the fatal shooting in Edgware, north London.

Mr Rodney, who had just celebrated his 24th birthday, was shot seven times in a pre-planned police operation in April 2005.

The case has remarkable similarities with the shooting dead of Brazilian Jean Charles de Menezes at London's Stockwell underground station.

When will British police stop killing people and getting away with murder?

Why isn't there proper punishment when police brutality occurs?
