BlueStar 0 Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 A police source has told the Guardian that there is no need for officers to verbally warn a suspect before opening fire. The source said: "If the firearms team are reasonably certain the person is a suicide bomber then there is no need to issue any warning. "Experience from other parts of the world shows that if a suicide bomber knows they are being followed by police, they will detonate." http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,...1536751,00.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adios 717 Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 So in the course of a few weeks they've gone from "Don't worry a bulb just blew in the underground", to keep everyone calm, to making people more worried about the police than the terrorists. nice work!

Rob W 0 Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 I've ALWAYS been worried more about the police than the terrorists there's only 5-12 terrorists in the whole country but 150,000 coppers And terrorists don't shoot you for carrying a chair leg from the pub, fit you up for 14 years++ inside, or drive over you at 125 mph as you try and cross the road...............................

The Fish 9006 Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 feel bad for the guy who died, but you have to hope that this tragedy will stop further accidents happening and hopefully in some way contribute to getting closer to a solution on ground level to this problem before more innocent people are butchered by fanatics.
