London Police Keep Shoot To Kill Policy
London’s police force has reviewed its controversial “shoot-to-kill” policy and left it largely unchanged despite the killing of a Brazilian mistaken for a would-be suicide bomber, Scotland Yard said on Saturday.
“We have reviewed it and we have made one or two small changes, but the operation remains essentially the same,” a Metropolitan police spokeswoman told Reuters.
The spokeswoman declined to detail the changes, but London police chief Sir Ian Blair said officers would continue to use deadly force to stop possible terror attacks.
“The methods that were used appeared to be the least worst option (for tackling suicide bombers) … we still have the procedure in use,” he told the Daily Mail.
