A new law under fire is accused of granting police officers excessive lethal force authority, with critics warning it could embolden deadly encounters. Supporters argue the measure is necessary to protect officers in high-risk situations, but opponents claim it undermines public trust and accountability. Legal experts are divided over whether the legislation tightens or loosens restrictions on when force can be used. The debate has reignited discussions about police powers and the balance between officer safety and civilian rights.
Critics say controversial law will give police officers a 'licence to kill'.
