Police given 'shoot to kill' orders in new terror alert (UK)

They must have some very reliable intelligence.

I wonder if there is an imminent strike warning in the US. I would guess it's very likely.

[Monty22]

The obvious first step is to invade all the mosques in the US and UK and clean out the *piles* of God knows what that's in there.

[Brad’s Gramma]

I tend to agree.

[Djarum]

He also took the unprecedented step of ordering all front-line officers to be trained in how to spot potential suicide bombers and how to respond.

Shoot exploding Muslims on sight!

[Mears]

I agree also. I'm afraid the Western World is in for a very tough time of it,especially the U.S. and the U.K.

We could have years of bombings in malls.restaurants,supermarkets etc. These are places with little or no security and it would certainly affect the American way of life.

We make not ever have anything as dramatic as 9-11 but bombing in assorted places would be as disruptive.

[MarMema]

your comments?

[tet68]

The only time they can't shoot is if the terrorista are
burglarizing someones home.

[My Favorite Headache]

The order in the UK is shoot first ask questions later. The U.S. plays with crayons first...then thinks about it...then tell us something....then a bomb goes off in some foreign country.

There is and would be substantially more security in those parts of Red Zone America with shall-issue concealed carry laws.

Yeah right this is England
I feel sorry for any cop who does shoot
one of their precious wogs
he will be crucified

Tony Blair vs. Captain Hook

[mhking]

"We come in peace, Shoot to kill, Shoot to kill, Shoot to kill, Shoot to kill, We come in peace, Shoot to kill, Shoot to kill, Shoot to kill, men!"

[Shooter 2.5]

Useless rhetoric. They don't have enough armed police officers and the restictions alone will stop any officer from firing.

[Husker24]

You mean they are actually going to allow the UK police to carry guns.........*gasp*

[joesnuffy]

Yep....
The individual has no right to defend his own family or property
only the state has that right
and they only defend the families of the elite and their property (and the ones they have liens on)

[Rudder]

The bloody Bobbies should call upon the services of Mr. Martin.

[OldPossum]

You're right if my observations a couple years ago are still correct. I was looking to see how many police officers were armed. I saw very few. Maybe things have changed since then but I doubt it.
