-Caveat Lector- the story is a schizophrenic in pyjamas wielding a samurii sword in the middle of a liverpool street was cornered by a unit of 4 police marksmen - they fired tear gas at him - got him agitated then killed him outright with two shots to the chest. any number of shots to the limbs would have done. If you wish to advise the Liverpool police about proper armed police procedure re apprehension - please write to the Letters at the Liverpool Tribune [EMAIL PROTECTED] perhaps an experienced professional consultancy would assist these 'trained' marksmen to identify a disabling shot. this a copy of a letter sent to the liverpool newspaper Police Kill Swordsman - Why ??? andrew hennessey Last night in Liverpool, highly trained police marksmen shot and killed a man in pyjamas wielding a sword - Why ?? Why was incapacitating the person with a shot to the legs not an option - why was the Kill made when any number of other areas of the body could have been targeted. Is this a sign that the police are getting out of control ? for if 'highly trained' marksmen could only hit the centre of body - why are they given guns in the first place ?? andrew hennessey <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
