I thought most police use hollow points for pretty much that exact reason, less penetration. I guess the counter-terrorism guys have to prepare for body armour?

Law enforcement always use armour piercing rounds these days. Ever since they had their poo poo handed to them by the infamous terrorist Ned Kelly and his band of jihadis they've sworn never again.

If they can get illegal guns I'm sure they can get illegal body armour, but even if they couldn't you can make your own.

The Saudi Arabian football team were booed by Australian supporters after they failed to properly line up for a minute's silence in honour of the victims of the London Bridge terror attacks. Saudi Arabia were preparing to play Australia in a World Cup qualifier at the Adelaide Oval when the stadium announcer called for a minute's silence to begin. The Australia team linked arms in a line on the centre circle while the Saudi Arabia team stood in random formation as the silence began. According to Adam Peacock, who works as a presenter for Fox Sports in Australia, the Asian Football Confederation approved the minute’s silence against the wishes of Saudi Arabia. The Football Federation of Australia were then unable to persuade Saudi Arabian officials to agree to participate in the tribute. A number of Saudi Arabian players stood still with their arms behind their back while others appeared to continue their warm up. Reports suggest that the visitors' substitutes bench also failed to stand to observe the tribute. The incident sparked outrage on social media with one user tweeting: "I hope Fifa call out Saudi Arabia on the clear lack of respect shown prior to kick-off. Not participating in the minute's silence is disgusting."
