Was He Right?

[TWR]

On a trip to Barcelona & a visit to Le Rambles, I got in conversation with a few local people regards what happed, I asked them their opinion regards the shooting of the Terrorists, each one said the same, Britain too Soft, Spain shoot, ask questions after, I agreed, what do you think?

[TWR]

This Should have been in Chatterbank.

[Bazile]

wait for it

[hereIam]

I've always said we're too soft ....

[ubasses]

Our Police were given the authority to 'shoot to kill' terrorists in April of this year.

[Sqad]

You can't "ask questions" of a corpse and interrogating a suspect is of the utmost importance.
It is essential to catch them......alive if possible.

[TWR]

If this driver would have been shot as soon as seen, it would have saved a lot of lives Sqad.

[Bazile]

What Sqad says

[Sqad]

Indeed it would TWR, but how many would have been saved in the future if you could have got the villain to spill the beans.

[jno]

agree with Sqad.

[Jackdaw33]

Too true he was right.

[douglas9401]

I doubt that modern interrogation tactics would wear down a true believer so what would be the point of taking them alive?

[THECORBYLOON]

Were the three terrorists involved in the London Bridge attack not shot dead? Doesn't sound too soft to me.

[mikey4444]

Common sense from Sqad at 17:02.

[THECORBYLOON]

If the Spanish shoot to kill, why are there Basque terrorists in gaol?

[Sqad]

Corby.......because , they missed.

[fiction-factory]

I am not sure Britain is any less 'soft'. I am happy to leave it to the police to decide whether to shoot, and whilst I can see the advantages in questioning these peopel i think it could create problems if they remain on the scene. But I'm not sure the shoot first policy is a deterrent- it didn't put off the Barcelona terrorist- and maybe some of them want to be killed so they can go to wherever they think they will go

[EcclesCake]

Think your question through, read Sqads first reply and then rethink your question.

Hope you had a nice time, quite like Barca.

[jno]

I doubt that modern interrogation tactics would wear down a true believer

why do you think that, douglas? These guys aren't graduates of the MI6 university of resisting questions; they're just religious fanatics who almost certainly haven't thought through the consequences of getting caught, since most of them intend to die. Being captured alive is a major disruption to their plans, and security forces ought to be aiming to milk them for all they can get.
