Your Opinion.

Did the French police take the right action against the scum ( Sorry Mam ) that beheaded the Preacher, that being, shoot them dead.

[Cloverjo]

Yes.

[Cloverjo]

Having said that, I don't believe in capital punishment, but I think the police did what they had to do at the time.

[rockyracoon]

Yes, I think the did make the right decision. More could have been killed if they didn't

[Jackdaw33]

They still had two nuns as hostages.

[Peter Pedant]

yes

froggie police under great stress/criticism for 'doing nothing' during the Bataclan massacre - with 99 dead

and yes shooting men with knives is a bit sporting but I dont think they had taken hostages but rather future dead people - there is a difference

[douglas9401]

Yes.

[bodeker]

Yes

[sandyRoe]

The murderers were both young men. They might have served 40 or 50 years in prison if they'd been taken alive. That's a lot of porridge.
But in the circumstances the police needed to demonstrate a robust approach.

///Both attackers were shot dead by anti-terror police units as they ran outside the sanctuary shouting "Allahu Akbar!"///

I read that they were charging towards the Armed Police when they were shot, so yes, correct course of action.
