A card and flowers sit outside the Stockwell Underground station where Jean Charles de Menezes was shot dead, July 24, 2005, in London.
The point-blank shooting of Menezes in front of horrified commuters shocked many in Britain, where most police officers do not carry guns. London Mayor Ken Livingstone drew a hard line before the mistake became clear, declaring that for anyone believed to be a suicide bomber it was going to be a "shoot-to-kill policy." But he softened his tone after police said the man had nothing to do with the transit attacks.
