A witness said the man shot by the police could have been wearing an explosive vest.

Speaking to the BBC, Karen Bosch said:

I was on the bus coming southbound over London Bridge we just pulled away from the bus stop when the bus came to a sudden stop, because there were people running across the bridge into the road, sort of looking over their shoulders and filming behind them.

It looked like there was a fight going on ... people tussling with each other. And then you realise it was police wrestling with one tall bearded man.

I had my baby with me, so I moved her behind the stairwell to be safe. Then there was a two shots or two loud pops, I think they were gunshots. And I also saw a spent taser.

And then the guy was lying on the floor. He then pulled his coat back, which showed that he had some sort of vest underneath [I don’t know] whether it was a stab vest or some sort of explosive vest. The police then really quickly moved backwards away.

On the bus we were panicking because we’re at this point, we were almost as close as the police to him. And he was sort of lying there pulling his coat backwards and the police were shouting at him and staying back from him.

Treating the incident as though its terrorism-related as a precaution doesn't suggest anything suicide-vesty is likely.

Eh, even a suicide vest doesn't suggest ideological motive. Could genuinely be a really hosed-up brainsponge.

Although I personally like to imagine that previous attackers had the vests but literally couldn't afford the explosives because of our lovely stagnant economy so they had to go out with them empty.

Hello, dear
I remember about 10 years ago some bloke tried to rob a cashier in a petrol station near here with a knife. There was an off duty PSNI officer in the place, getting a few groceries I suppose, and he just shot the bloke dead.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-12366465

The ombudsman said the cop was justified and I remember when the media was reporting the story they always made reference to the shot man being, well, a scumbag.

If a Terri getting froggy starts stabbing people up on London Bridge and my fight or flight kicks in and I end up fighting them, I’m almost certainly murdering him rather than allowing any restraint.

Loads of absolute melts in this thread arm chairing how terrible the police are when in that video it looks like a guy in a balaclava with multiple knives has tried mimicking the machete attack and is getting back up, he’s forgone his right not to get shot. Live by the sword die by the sword.

quote:

AN off-duty policeman shouted a warning before shooting a criminal who had just robbed a petrol station, an inquest was told on Monday.


He said: “Drop the knife or I’ll shoot”, coroner John Leckey heard.

The DVD recording showed Mr Ringland, who had a lengthy criminal record with 133 convictions including for robbery, flash a knife at a shop assistant before helping himself to cash scumbag.

The guy threatened to stab some poor shop assistant, probably mentally scarring them for the rest of their life. He is a scum bag. Hopefully the left will start winning some ground soon and people won’t be put in positions where they feel they need to be scumbags.

I'm not debating the point that he was in fact an enormous scumbag - he was notorious in part of town for being so. It's just the point at which it is acceptable to shoot a person dead that I'm interested in, however enormous a scumbag they may be.

When they are a threat.

Which comes back to the old hitting moped criminals with cars argument I got rinsed for in here last time.

If the cop hadn’t of engaged the criminal would have gotten away and no one would of got hurt, so by confronting him in an attempt to arrest him the cop created the threat in a way. But capitulating to criminals and allowing them to commit crime so they don’t get hurt seems like a fairly terrible way to uphold the law.

If your cops have only two settings which is ignore people or murder them, perhaps your concept of justice needs looking into.
