Multiple eyewitnesses said that community police officers fled from Borough Market in London after seeing two men with knives stabbing people as part of a terror attack Saturday.
These eyewitnesses told The Guardian’s Lisa O’Carroll that two men started stabbing people outside a restaurant in Borough Market, close to where the first terror attack took place on London Bridge, resulting in multiple fatalities.
“I saw two guys with big knives downstairs outside Roast. They were stabbing people,” the eyewitnesses said.
Perhaps the most jarring part of the testimony was a report that, instead of running to the stabbing to stop it, the police turned around and ran the other way.
“The police were running away, they were community police. They were normal officers, they were running away,” the eyewitnesses said.
With the police out of sight, onlookers began yelling “stop, stop” and throwing chairs.
But then police arrived at the scene and “shot straight away.”
Police community support officers (PCSOs) operate usually in a paid, full-time role, and while “PCSOs do not have the same powers as regular police officers, they still carry a lot of responsibility, and are a critical part of the police service.”
More than 90 percent of police officers in London do not carry guns and instead carry mace, handcuffs, batons and, on occasion, a stun gun.
Mere hours after the events took place on London Bridge and at Borough Market, Metropolitan Police labeled them as terror attacks.
Time to go balls out on restricting immigration, deportations, and surveillance and hit them harder back home. This is no longer a religion which deserves rights. It is a violent political movement aimed at taking over the world and must be stopped. The immigration polices are turning parts of Europe into hellholes where women have been raped in the street and in London and Paris you take you life in your hands to eat at a cafe. War is the answer just as it was when the Nazi’s tried to take over. The muslims strategy is to overload the western countries which are too ignorant to stop them. Poland should be the model.
If the attackers had been armed with banana this situation couldve been averted.
The cop in London who confronted the knife-wielding terrorist yesterday was severely hurt because he was not allowed to carry a gun.
Islam is a supremacist political ideology that hides under the veil of religion as a Trojan horse into western democracies, with one mission - to impose their law, Sharia. Without Sharia you have no Islam. How often do you see this debate? Never.
It is time we put Christianity and Islam on trial. I say this because it exposes the underlying ethics of each. Even atheists have nothing bad to say about Christ, they just believe that Christian’s don’t follow his example (misunderstanding that Christ wasn’t a hippie but that’s another discussion). However, Mohammed was a demonstrably raping, stealing, murdering, war monger. Islam was ALWAYS about conquest. We need to have a historical judgement about each and conclude why certain behavior is a derivative of Islam.
Any ideology that preaches that you can make up for your sins by committing mass murder must be eradicated. Any ideology that claims to have a God that puts no value in person unless they believe must be eradicated. This is Islam. They do not see God as a “loving father”, rather, more like a “Zeus” that will just zap people when angry and has no love for those that don’t fall at his knees. Even Muslims will be honest about this. Mix all this together and you have a formula for barbarism, plain and simple. You can never come to the same conclusion with Christianity if you truly look at the ethics and message of its founder. Islam has been warring for over 1300 years against everyone “non-Muslim”. Anywhere there is Islam there is violence. It’s shocking how many have no idea that the Crusades weren’t a bad thing, they were just a response to Muslim aggression. The lies need to stop, until they do nothing will change.
What about pointed sticks?
Any ideology that preaches that you can make up for your sins by committing mass murder must be eradicated. Any ideology that claims to have a God that puts no value in person unless they believe must be eradicated.
The crux of the matter
Unarmed mall guards against fanatical subhumans. Not a good match.
Three days from now it will be all forgotten, nothing will change, and Brits will go back to the same routine. It will happen again. Repeat. Repeat. ?
Truly a voice of reason in a sea of madness. Thank you.
In Bejing and Tokyo of all places! /s
Well said commentary about the Amish-Scientologists! /s
Are you clear?
They no doubt did exactly as they were trained.
Most of them don’t want them..they might actually have to use them and not have an excuse for running away.
Good for them
“Halt! Or I shall say “HALT” again.
Hmmm. Is that the french effect?
