Depends on the situation and threat, they would prefer not to have to kill, its all down to threat asesment by the officer on scene.

What like shoot him in the kneecap?...i dont think so.

I can't imagine reading that news story and my reaction being one of disappointment that nobody died, I actually can't comprehend it. Are you a sociopath?

I just want the police to be better trained at shooting people dead...is that to much to ask?

They aren't trained to kill, they are trained to remove threats - and this is what has happened.

You're a ****ing sociopath.

How would you remove the threat then?...shoot their fingers off?

British armed police officers have some of the latest and best weapons and equipment available, there isn't much room for improvement considering their role.

So why cant they ******* shoot straight?
