It was an unimaginable and horrific act.

Thanks for the insight.

Some awkward questions for the police to answer, methinks...

One question is how come you all missed. Really how can trained armed officers miss the driver so often.

Where?

My bad. I 'saw' it on the Daily Mail website but not wanting to linger there too long or go into any graphic content I missed that they've merged the tweet he did about Nice ("when will we ever learn?") with his 'arm everyone' stance he had about the Paris attacks.

They were shooting from the side from what I can tell, the officers were behind a large palm tree to the left of the lorry.

I spotted that and was hoping it wasn't a UK truck.

Maybe the photo is misleading as it doesn't show the bullet trajectory only the impact point on the windscreen. Maybe they were stood to the side to avoid getting run over.

If it happened here there wouldn't be anyone there to shoot him.

Are you not in the UK?
In the UK we have ARUs & SFOs, which is generally enough.

Yes, they can drive to where it is going, jump out the car, get the guns from the boot and by that time Mohammed Al Semtex is another 500 meters down the road.
