Does this Top terror role for the Menezes officer mean that it has been accepted that we adopt a routine "shoot to kill any suspect policy" from now on?
"The man who launched the surveillance operation that led to Jean
Charles de Menezes's death has been appointed to the UK's top counter-terrorist role.
Cdr John McDowall will take over from Deputy Assistant Commissioner Peter Clarke as national co-ordinator of terrorist investigations.
He will also lead the Metropolitan Police's counter-terrorism unit SO15."

they dare to do it in broad daylight, admit they did it, and pledge
to do it again! Basically, shoot-to-kill has been covert British
police policy for a long time

out in the open so they can do it more overtly."

Assassination by agents of the British State.

Then there was Gibralter when the Britsh gunned down a number of Irish people, again in cold blood. The tale they told then was that these had explosives and guns. When there was an examination of them and their vehicle, this proved to be false.
The British army had a shoot to kill policy in the six counties for very many years. It was the custom to eliminate people who were Catholics, or Republicans. In many instances the loyalist paramilitaries were given a free hand to do this.
It is perhaps to be expected that there has now been an extension of this to allow the neo cops to kill people that don't comply to the "conform, consume and obey" culture.
