Brazil has expressed its disappointment over the decision not to prosecute any police officer involved in the fatal shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes.
Mr de Menezes, a 27-year-old Brazilian, died at Stockwell station in London on 22 July last year after police mistook him for a suicide bomber.

Brazil might be surprised, I am not. I might be getting too old and cynical but I feel there are some categories of people that are very unlikely to ever go into trouble.
I don't know who is to blame in this unfortunate case but I feel someone somewhere did not do things properly.
In my little world I have also found out that there is another category of people that never seem to pay for their mistakes and that is doctors.
I had major problems with my GP who decided not to listen to me for a whole year and a bit (he always told me to rest and take paracetamol) until things got so bad that I went to A&E.
At my first appointment with a consultant I had to be lectured like a three year old about how stupid I'd been for not going to see a doctor earlier. 
There is a so called complaint procedure but what you get is normally a letter of apology, they are sorry to know that you feel that the treatment you received was not of the highest standard, nothing else. And even that takes a very long time. You can only sue if you have clear evidence of medical negligence and error (for instance if you are dead). But we know, for instance, that the first consultant I saw will never be prepared to put in writing what he'd told me that time not if it goes against another doctor.
So you just have to grin and bear it.
