    "'When I was policing minister, I had the then Police Complaints Authority carry out an assessment of 20 police shootings in which I think the vast majority were of innocent or harmless people, none of which was under the current guidance,' he said." - Bill Morris.

    Suicide bombings are a real and current threat, however we have neither the means or intelligence to carry out shoot-to-kill policies in the UK.

    Unlike Israel we're not locked in war with a neighbour that reguarly launches suicide attacks, nor do we have the military presence of Israel... We simply dont have enough armed officers to effectivly enforce this procedure.

    Had this bomber been a real threat he could of blown himself up in 3 highly populated areas a: the bus, b: the station, c: the train... If he were a real threat he shouldn't of been allowed access to any of these places - he should of been confronted before reaching them.

    At best he would of taken out one unarmed police man - instead of taking out an entire train.

    If we had more armed officers (those watching him for example) he could of been tackled as he left the house.

    The policy doesn't suit our climate.

    The executioners didn't make any commands they just shot him.... they are partly accountable.

    Which is why he should of been tackled leaving the house, we dont have a strong enough armed presence to operate this policy... it has been proven to fail... had he been a bomber he had numerous opertunities to kill mass numbers, as it were he was a civilian... more proof the policy doesnt work.

    The SAS would not have missed with 30% of shots fired

    You could say the same about SO19. If the police were the ones that fired the shots it would have been SO19.

    An operation of that calibre botched or not would not have been carried out by a Police constable with standard arms training - FACT.

    To be fair there's been that many versions of events and there's no way the real truth has been told so there's no point in arguing about it.

    I believe what i believe for a reason :)

    the only thing that bothers me in all this are the eyewitnesses who claimed to have seen him running away etc. yet the official report denies this... did they see someone else or where they bullshittin... if so shouldn't they be arrested for bearing false witness!!! none of it adds up... another chapter for the conspiracy theories programme i reckon!
