Actually in a way it does. The guy concerned (apparently a soldier not a plod) was totally up front about not being in the least bit sure what he had seen and called for a further identification. Someone in the Met chain of command chose to ignore that request and authorized killing De Menezes. As far as I'm concerned the "taking a piss" story looks like one more way of trying to deflect attention away from what the Met chain of command did or didn't do.
