I doubt it - the media was generally supportive of the police action and gave every impression of embracing the "if he's foreign and running, shoot him" style of policing that Ian Blair was unashamedly evangelising the week after the murder. If this new version of events is correct, the police - Ian Blair in particular - have the most to lose now (not counting the de Menezes family, whose loss was acute, tragic, utterly needless and perpetrated, it would seem, by morons).
