London shooting viewpoint from the Germany newspaper Die Tageszeitung

. | 25.07.2005 14:17 | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | Repression | London | World

From Germanys Die Tageszeitung. Frontpage headline ‘Deadly Mistake’.

Its editorial says that a shoot to kill policy cannot be justified. It questions how police can ever be sure of their target when they used a list of such vague criteria as the colour of his skin, the fact that he shared a building with known terrorists and was wearing a heavy coat.

Also the speed at which events unfolded also ensured that police could never be secure in their knowledge of the target.
