Police Told To Rewrite Tactics.
According to The Times, the Independent Police Complaints Commission has told every force in Britain to rewrite their tactics after the Stockwell tube killing of Jean Charles de Menezes.
A highly critical report, delivered to Sir Ian Blair this week, found that plans to deal with a suicide bomber on the streets of London were totally inadequate.
This comes after the Association of Chief Police Officers said earlier this month that the shoot to kill policy was "fit for purpose" and need not change, but called for a leaflet to explain the tactics more clearly to the public.
Shami Chakrabarti, director of Liberty, resigned from the review panel set up by Acpo, and said “It was window dressing, the review was a sham.”
And, of course, she was right.
