    Highlighting justice not served

    Incredible acting, I binged watched it all in 24 hours. Cried lots, especially at the end. I was only aware of the spin that Jean Charles jumped the barrier and was acting suspiciously, don't recall hearing that it was untrue until watching the show. There is so much injustice around the whole situation, the fact they could even suggest for a second that the men looked alike was astounding. Would encourage everyone to watch this, if only to educate on the ineptitude of the police and how their main aim to protect and serve the 1%, not the rest of the country. Justice for Jean Charles DeMenezes.

    Brilliant series but policemen are not.

    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.

    The Truth Came Out.

    I'm so happy this series was made - it tells the truth after we, as a nation, were fed so many lies. It tells the truth about how much the police lie to cover their backs, and, it brings into question everything we have ever been told by them. The police really will go to any lengths to protect their reputation. Some people still remember this story incorrectly - they believe the victim ran from the police due to being here illegally etc. They told so many lies about this innocent man. And even after they had slaughtered him and the truth about that was came to light they then tried to destroy his reputation by character assassination. Listening to them lie continuously was really hard to watch. The injustice of it all. This won't be the first time something like this has happened and it won't have been the last. That's the scariest part. How many other people have been murdered by the police and then lied about to us? I can't recommend this series enough. Everyone should watch it. I think there's a reason it is only on Disney plus and hasn't been released to the general public on mainstream TV - and we all know why that is!

    Heartbreaking, infuriating and tragic.

    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.

    Forgotten This Story

    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.
