Shoot to kill 

DND Law

PM wants protection for shoot-to-kill police.

David Cameron wants armed police officers who shoot to kill to be given greater protection from prosecution. The PM ordered a review of the current law after a national security council meeting last week, at which police chiefs demanded greater political and legal backing for those charged with protecting the public from a Paris-style terror attack in Britain.

The review will cover all police firearms use, not just that in counterterrorism cases, and comes after a firearms officer was arrested on Thursday over the fatal shooting of 28-year-old Jermaine Baker during an alleged attempt to spring two convicts from a prison van in north London earlier this month.
