Copper double tapped him in plain sight.  Shows the feeling of the Brits at the moment.  Good show old boy.

I'd guess standard procedure for anyone wearing what looks like a suicide bomb - and a wise policy too from a public safety point of view.

 

And so impressed by the unarmed members of the public who tackled him.

 

But two dead is too high a price for allowing unwise freedom to known terrorists.

We’ve seen enough examples here on TVF of the usual suspects triggered by news of an ‘attack’ into Islamophobic rants only to learn a few hours later that the attack/attacker had nothing to do with Islam.

 

Terrorism is effective because of the fear and division it spreads, it is wise not to give the terrorists a helping hand by spreading fear and division on their behalf.

 

It’s also wise to hold comments and accusations until the facts are known.

The facts were established well enough when you wrote this denial.

I was so pleased this scum was shot dead. I get very bemused at how many scum kill others then walk away smiling to a comfy cell. I say if they have a knife or weapon shoot to kill.

Yes this man was a known threat, and there are at least 20,000 fewer police officers than there should be.

 

Not hard to figure why a known threat was left to escalate into an attack.

 

I don’t think I need to post the video of Theresa May being warned of the consequences of her cuts to the police force.

Nothing to do with Police officers on the street , he was arrested by special branch and given a minimum of 8 years in 2012 for plotting bamb attacks. Not the cops who let him out before that to murder was it, or lack of them.

The reason being their prophet stated he was made victorious by terror and several commands in the Quran to wage jihad, and that did not mean spiritual struggle before the apologists pipe up. It has to be remembered people like this dead jihadist WANT to die in jihad attacks because they believe it wipes away all sins and is a fast track to paradise.

A "tiny minority" and it's entourage, be it neighborhood, family and friends, complicit of tolerance. Millions of Muslims live in and benefit of our western non-muslim countries, and the real danger comes from islamophobia?

Geez .... This sounds even worse than things that happen in Thailand!

If the man was already dead, why shoot dead man?

 

Best to make  sure

[roo860]

My own personal view is that all police in the UK should be armed, long over due.

There are 3 religions that believe in one God

the Jews,they invented him ,they are still waiting for the Prophet ,very rarely do we see any terrorist acts

Christians they have Jesus who preached peace and goodwill to your fellow man ,again not a great deal of terrorist acts

 

Muslim they have Muhammed ,a divorced man who became a warlord ,killed all in his path ,preached that there must be complete submision to the faith and married a 6 year old girl.

well you read what their faith does around the world .and so many of its followers ,seem to be not very good people .

a few thousand dead innocents in the last few years is a fairly convincing argument for the posters viewpoint.

USA not in topic. The Guardian story is just that ... and fastest growing does not mean greatest existing.

[cyril sneer]

that guardian article ????

[Mick501]

Just one of 30 to 40 daily terrorist attacks committed by Muslims in the name of their god.  What does that number have to be before it is acknowledged there are some critical flaws at the very core of this religions teachings?

Police shot a man dead??

I watched the video. Clearly a professional execution. Best for everyone concerned.

[nausea]

The most encouraging thing to come out of this is how people reacted, they didn't all just run away in fear. I've always thought a kind of mob zombie response to these kind of incidents would do a lot to discourage them. Obviously, the police killed him cos he was wearing a (fake) suicide vest. What do you expect them to do, wait for the bomb disposal squad to arrive.
