this week in london

This week London's Metropolitan Police force decided to shoot more innocent people.

Just in case last year's execution of Jean Charles De Menezes wasn't proof enough that the Met's chiefs are incompetent, their policy of 'shoot-first, think-later' seems to have found them wanting again.

Also, why is their PR soooo bad... you'd think as a police force for one of the biggest cities in the world they'd have loads of good excuses prepared for such scenarios, but all they can come up with is stuff like: 'we had no choice' or '[the officer] did not deliberately fire the shot'.
