Suspect: The Shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes

After so many lies and injustices with poor Jean, finally the true story of the brazilian being executed by British police told by them. The series is very well made, excellent acting of an unfortunate day.

The story follows a documentary police line, showing the individualities of each character, their emotions, the moments of their lives at the time: Jean, the ordinary people who were around him at the time, the police officers involved and even the terrorists. It makes you feel a seesaw of feelings that involve pressure, fear, indignation, many lies, media manipulation, injustices. An action thriller with many emotions. It is well worth watching.

This is an excellent min series. The script & acting are both top notch. I believe it does stay close to the truth and is historically correct.

It's hard to imagine the lengths suicide bombers go to in the belief of their cause. The carnage and deaths they caused in 2005 was horrific, it is also unforgivable. However, the cover up & lies by senior members of the Metropolitan Police is equally unforgivable. However, how on earth they remained in position & in the case of Cressida Dick get promoted to the highest of high positions is hard to stomach.

This is a tragic true story of a young g man who was killed in horrific circumstances.

I found every episode brilliant, but the final part is absolutely excellent and very emotional.

I wholeheartedly recommend this series.

Jean De Menezes, a 27-year-old Brazilian working as an electrician in London, boarded the tube at Stockwell station on the morning of 22 July 2005. Moments later, before the carriage doors could close, armed police sprinted on to the train and shot him seven times, point blank, in the head. De Menezes had been mistaken for a suicide bomber; he was entirely innocent of any crime.

This expertly researched, cast and produced 4 part series dissects the events leading up to the shooting, the shooting itself (horrific), and the subsequent attempt by some of the police and cronies to discredit and deflect from the truth of what was undeniably a horrendously flawed operation leading to a cold-blooded public execution.

Be prepared to shout at the telly a few times, and be heartbroken by his traumatized family's attempts to make sense of it and get justice for Jean.

I Am Outraged by the Murder of an Innocent Person by the Police

I am filled with anger and disbelief over the killing of an innocent person by those who are supposed to protect us - the police. What makes this even more infuriating is the shameless way in which responsibility is being denied and brushed aside.

Is it really that difficult to accept the consequences - to step down as a commander, a police officer, or anyone else responsible - and to face the truth with honor and courage? Is accountability such a foreign concept? I truly wonder how these people manage to sleep at night, knowing what they've done or what they've allowed to happen.

Justice isn't just a word - it's a duty. And right now, it feels like those in charge have abandoned both justice and humanity.

Sad to say I've seen so much horrible news over the years that I can't remember the details of this tragedy. The series was awesome in the sense that they spotlighted the purpose and motivations of every character. Many times shows will focus just on the plot and one or two principle leads.

I'm glad it was a relatively short series I think 4 episodes. Plenty of time to delve into the perpetrators and police work. Not much is revealed about Jean Charles but in retrospect that is the point. This have could have been anyone at the wrong place at the wrong time. There doesn't have to be a victim story to feel sorry for him because death of an innocent person is already the ultimate tragedy.
