The Line of Fire

Two men fire guns in the street. One is in west Yorkshire firing blanks: British police shoot him dead. The other is in New Jersey, USA, with 200 live rounds: American police arrest him unharmed. Using video footage, interviews with witnesses, and a first-hand account from the gunman at the centre of an armed siege, Panorama investigates the police tactics in both incidents and asks why the less dangerous man was killed.
