British PM supports ‘shoot to kill’ policy during terror attacks
UK Prime Minister Theresa May says she supports the “shoot to kill” policy used by London police in responding to terror attacks.
May says police saved “countless lives” by killing the three London bridge attackers within eight minutes on Saturday night.
May says police counterterrorism resources are well-funded despite cuts to police staffing levels. She has been criticized for staff cuts during her tenure as home secretary.
Israel’s own “shoot to kill” policy used by Israeli security forces disarming Palestinian terrorists has been labeled extrajudicial killings and criticized by rights groups as an excessive use of force.
