London bridge has to be one of the most secured public places in the world outside of parliament itself, as evidenced by how fast the cops turned up and started shooting people. If that doesn't suggest that you can't police terror attacks out of existence I don't know what does.

No no, maybe if we give up more of other people's freedoms we can finally be perfectly safe and live forever!

Reuters now saying police believe ‘a number of people have been injured in London Bridge incident’ - presumably more than the stab victim and the dead stabber (?). No article tho, just an alert.

Even if that were a concern, cops could just print him to rule out anything he’d left.

So the guy was disarmed, on the ground and surrounded by cops. Will the justification be that he might have had a bomb on him?

Love that random people are able work together in time of need to subdue the guy and then are brave boys come along with their assault rifles and shoot him on the ground. Definitely shows why we need the police.

Graun reporting that five people were injured in the attack. Scotland Yard CT involved...does anyone know how involved they get in cases that don’t turn out to be terror-related?

I think any attack like this will be investigated by Slipper. Need to find out who this person is, their motivation, etc. while the Met are more about prevention and reaction-in-the-now.

To be honest, the cops look loving terrified so I'm guessing suicide vest

The guy being pulled off appears to have been "caught" by the attacker - the attacker's legs appear to be wrapped around his legs. In a leg-log basically.

"haha, dogs can't smoke!"

Yeah that definitely makes it look a bit more like the attacker was still in the middle of attacking someone and was trying to get back up before they shot him. The guy they pull off just looks like a member of the public.
