The family of Jean Charles de Menezes expressed outrage last night after the officer in command of the firearms team that shot the Brazilian dead last year was promoted to one of the highest ranks in the British police service.Cressida Dick was yesterday promoted from commander to deputy assistant commissioner in the Metropolitan police. On the day in July 2005 when De Menezes was shot dead at a south London underground station after being mistaken for a terrorist, Ms Dick was in charge of deciding whether a shoot-to-kill policy should be adopted by officers.
