Shot to Kill
Can this article flag up to readers the misnomer of 'shoot-to-kill'. If you shoot at someone then it is shooting to kill, no? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.80.135.84 (talk • contribs) 03:06, 25 March 2006‎
 * To the best of my knowlage, there is a differance between shot to kill and shoot to disable. I will do some research on it. The One00 19:04, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * If you want information or details of OPERATION KRATOS within MOD POLICE, I can help. But caution, as I will not give too many details. Its an interesting topic, which for us fire arms officers could be a career ending decision. It is not to be taken as a joke, and should be respected as a fatal mistake (like in London) should never be repeated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.105.78.227 (talk • contribs) 22:07, 7 April 2006‎

SO19 and CO19
Not Sure about the so13 thing I am sure it was SO19 and is now CO19 but I have never edited a Wikipedia page and don't want to screw it up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.238.93.147 (talk • contribs) 14:06, 17 July 2006‎
 * The anti terror branch of the Met. is SO13 The Firearms unit used to be called SO19, and now is called CO19. I have clarified it in the article. Feal free to edit wikipedia, Be Bold in Updating Pages The One00 19:04, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Can this be accurate?
"After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, many police agencies worldwide seriously considered for the first time the possibility of terrorist activities in their own home countries and cities." Terrorism was at its highest ever point during the 80s and 90s, by the start of the 21st century terrorism was on its decline. Im not sure if "many countries", particularly the UK in question, had never considered terrorist activity within its own country before. Embassies spring to mind. Perhaps this line should be altered?

 * Yes that hit me in the face like a wet Kipper, after being around the various London bombings in the 1980s ans 1990. But it shouldn't have taken 3 years to remove. Rich Farmbrough, 20:44, 3 December 2009 (UTC).


 * It would have made sense (and introduced what follows) if it said suicide attackers instead of "terrorist activity", as this was indeed a change for the UK. Kanguole 00:31, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

IPCC Report
The IPCC released its report into the Stockwell shooting on 8th November 2007. Kratos was NOT invoked:

http://www.ipcc.gov.uk/news/pr081107_stockwell1_statement.htm

and this page needs to be changed to reflect that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.71.97.189 (talk) 16:24, 8 November 2007 (UTC)


 * It's a bit more complicated than that. The Kratos framework (Designated Senior Officer, hollow-point ammunition and briefings on special tactics) was in place for the operation, and the Kratos tactics were used (multiple shots to the head from point-blank range, without warning).  All that was missing, according to the report, was the authorization from the DSO that is supposedly required to activate those tactics.  (OK, the police claimed that warnings were given, but none of the civilian witnesses heard them, and the IPCC point out that warnings would be inconsistent with the officers' professed belief that this man was a suicide bomber liable to set off his bomb at the first sign of trouble.)
