He was shot by a special Armed Police/Terrorist Unit was he not?
The regular police do not carry guns?
Am I correct in this?
To: areafiftyone
BBC reporting the delay was due to "ongoing police operations at several locations throughout the city".
Sounds like the Police are acting upon leads developed from yesterday's attacks.

You are correct....according to Fox n Friends this morning, the police who regularly patrol this area do not carry any weapons or guns...this was a special police unit that went out and shot the suspect....according, again, to Fox, there were two police officers who were holding the suspect down while one police officer shot 5 bullets into the suspect...killing him. I say....it's about time. Good for the Brits!

Shoot first, ask questions later.
In situations like these, it's good practice.
To: Textide
Yes, and it's quickly becoming a hell of a week for the terrorists! It is literally a "kill them before they kill you" situation.

Yep. You're not getting the benefit of the doubt when you are fleeing the police, suicidal, and part of an organization know to carry concealed explosives. Too bad they weren't able to press him for information, but that's a call for the guy whose life, and those around him, may be in immediate jeopardy.

I hope they won't be defensive in their press conference - they have my support and can tell the second guessers and muzzie professional complainers to stick it.

I believe he was shot by plain clothes police officers with handguns. Most police don't carry guns in London but there are the plain clothes ones that sometimes do.

The article I read said that only special units of the police in London now carry guns, AND that more and more police are armed these days.
To: Let's Roll
hope they won't be defensive in their press conference They might be a bit defensive because it turns out the guy wasn't carrying any explosive devices and you know the press are going to start asking questions on that.

Even though the guy had no explosive device, he kept running after the police told him to stop. If anyone did that in NYC the NYPD would have made him/her into swiss cheese!
