Shoot-'Em-In-The-Head Policy Retroactively Justified [View All]

[Bark Bark Bark]

So when a group of men charge at you, guns drawn, DON'T RUN. Unless you're white, of course.

The Washington Post said the international police chiefs group produced a new training guide for confronting suicide bomber suspects after the July 7 attacks on three London underground trains and a bus that killed at least 56 people, including four bombers.

According to the newspaper, the guide recommends that if lethal force is needed to stop someone who fits a certain behavioral profile, the officer should "aim for the head." The intent is to kill the suspect instantly so the person could not set off a bomb if one is strapped to the person's chest, the newspaper said.

In other words: shoot first, regret later. And by "fits a certain behavioral profile," I assume they mean "looks swarthy."
