Do we need more (fire) armed police?

[AtW]

No arms for squirrels though.

Think again, punk?

Tasers are still a good solution as many of the attackers are armed with knives.

[WTFH]

WTF Fake news!!!!

Saint Theresa said Tory Scum Govt increased armed police counts!!!

But she did, percentage wise.

By getting rid of more unarmed officers, the % balance is now that there are more armed ones. Overall there are about 18,000 fewer police officers, but now a larger percentage of the smaller number are armed.

...remember we can't say anything bad about St Theresa as her religious followers will attack us due to their blind faith that everything she does is perfect and anyone else is evil

I suspect largely around the Westminster area

Sorry I disagree.

In this case, they appeared to have suicide vests. It was important to stop them setting them off. The police could not have known they were fake.

Obviously upsetting that some innocent got their head blown off. However, if police had not fired so many shots, it could have cost many more lives.

I am no fan of the police. However this case is very different from the Brazilian Electrician. Everyone involved in that execution should be in prison for murder.

Fatwa on WTFH!

I don't think there is a single May supporter round here. Only some who say there is no-one better for the job.

Is that a Westinghouse model M95A3s?

I think there's a few on here whose faith in the Tory party is unswerving, even after they have failed to deliver, or U-turned on practically everything they promised over the last few years

Agree. I don't think tasering a vest filled with explosives is going to have the desired effect.

Wasn't Cressida Dick the commanding officer in the Jean-Charles de Menendes operation?

Taser can be implemented quickly.
