So if it becomes normal practice.......will people not be able to sue....or will they get less money....???
if the police have been able to shoot to kill for many years and not done so......then why does that not show this was an extreme case in difficult times......
I see your point well......but it seems that for the police to be in the right....they would have to have killed more often.....??
Sorry if that is in bad English......I get better as the day goes by.....LOL!
If I could still write in French and Spanish......I would do better.....but then again I'm sure someone would bring up the fact it was not in English....

I wasn't pointing out "bad English" I was pointing out the misspelling of a proper noun which happens to be the name of a rather large country.
I wasn't talking to you or about you (or putting you "right" so to speak) so let's move on shall we?

Apparently because some police commisioners have referred to it as "shoot to kill" and not the correct term "shoot to stop" the Brazilian family might have a case under European human rights laws because, apparently, making blanket judgements - in this case of suspected suicide bombers - is illegal under European human rights laws.

I think they should just offer the suicide bomber a nice cup of tea, chocolate biscuits and a councellor to discuss their feelings..

But I fully support the police, they are doing a difficult job in astonishingly difficult circumstances forced on them by criminal suicide bombers.
