shoot to kill policy

Our officers should be shooting to kill only if it is a necessity. The shoot to kill policy depends on what is in front of you and the danger of the situation. Police have always had a shoot to kill policy for example for a kidnapper or for anyone who will endanger lives, and the policy was brought out , quite rightly for potential suicide bombers, Operation Kratos,.
As we know , there are situations when things can go entirely wrong, and innocent people get killed, and this is where the specialist training comes in. In our society, we must have a shoot to kill policy, but not a licence to kill, there is a difference, and the training of these officers must be so disciplined . Having said that , no training in the world can fully prepare anyone for a life threatening situation with additional adrenalin running through your body.........I think that if a police officer says stop , put your weapon down, then the public should do it........immediately !!!!!
