Quatrième de couverture :
In a few terrifying moments at the Stockwell Tube station in 2005,eight shots fired by armed police officers ended the life of aninnocent Brazilian, Jean Charles de Menezes. This incident resultedin the termination of a cautiously developed compromise regardingthe arming and deployment of police officers, and the â??rulesof engagementâ?? within which they operated. The IndependentPolice Complaints Commission subsequently called for a thorough andwide–ranging public debate about the police use of firearms in theUK.
