As stupid as it is, British police cannot shoot unless they are shot at, or see somebody about to shoot somebody else/ cause injury with a weapon. Only a very small minority of police are actually allowed to carry guns. They wont shoot unless it's a last resort... even if it means they're dead first!! Oh and they can't shoot and "kill"... they can only shoot at a leg/ arm etc. A law came out a few years ago where all UK citizens with guns had to serender their weapons... leaving only the criminals with firearms (and farmers).
