Re: Paris shootings in November 2015
The whole 'shoot to kill' thing isn't something you can gives a yes or no answer to in my opinion. Are the current guidelines sufficient? These allow shoot to kill when there is a direct threat to life and there are of course the 'Kratos officers' which are the guys trained in true shoot to kill for suicide bombers. There are 12 of them for London apparently.
The problem is that the only time those Kratos officers did what they trained to do, they killed an innocent person which would surely make any person nervous.
If possible, I would always want the perpetrators of these crimes held to account in a court of law rather than killed - they should only be shot if necessary. We have got to show that we are better than those who want to destroy our way of life.
