    Well done to the police and the people who stopped the attacker. I've watch the videos and it's all handled really well.

    But why on earth are all the videos cut just at the moment the fatal gunshots are about to be inflicted? Why do people do that? Do they have any idea how frustrating it is to watch?


    Jeez sorry for the inconvenience. It's not netfiix you know!

    I'd say he'll be delighted it takes the focus off his disastrous phone-in on LBC this morning.

    You poor soul. You'll just have to tuck it away and zip yourself back up this time.

    Videos on twitter looks like he was disarmed of one knife by public then police shot him

    And hopefully a full enquiry finds everyone to have acted like hero’s and doesn’t start expecting people and police to do chuck norris type leg shots and Jackie Chan immobilizations.

    You turn up at a tourist destination with a knife you should be shot and your manifesto should be thrown in the bin.

    Politically, this could be a gift for Johnson.

    He could issue a response outside No. 10 and harness public anger in his own favour, offering some sort of robust defense of the UK against those who wish to harm the country.

    I imagine Cummings or his equivalent is crafting the speech as we speak.

    Maybe if your capable of getting away from the person. I'd say they saved the lives of a few innocent people that wouldn't be able to out run that loon.

    It’s really not. When you’re day to day life includes worrying whether there will be a terrorist attack, there comes a stage when you have enough. If someone’s gonna try and kill you might as well try and take them down.

    That didn't originate there, its a known response if you have ever worked in a combat role.

    Ah stop....
    Come on the **** you have NO idea and nor do the cops to what extent this chap was armed. Why take a chance when its clearly proven minutes earlier this person is out to kill.

    Does he have a firearm?
    Does ha have a bomb vest?
    is he a suicide bomber?

    Shoot the vermin. This is not some innocent by stander being apprehended resisting arrest this is a man out to cause serious pain.

    Didn't look like there was a "hands up" request. Pulled the other lad off and then bang.

    If we was "just" carrying a knife, and from what i could see, he was on the deck, i'm not sure deadly force may have been required in this particular situation.

    But no doubt we'll find out soon enough

    Let's not forget that Corbyn doesn't want these attackers dead.

    He didn't want Al Baghdadi dead.

    He said it was a "tragedy" that Osama bin Laden was killed instead of arrested.

    He frequently met Islamic jihadists throughout his career, and always sides with the UK's enemies.

    Johnson needs to play this situation to his advantage. We cannot have Jeremy Corbyn in No. 10.

    WOW

    Until it IS proven, try not to surmise about the identity of the alleged attacker

    100+ stabbings in London this year, Muslims do all of them?

    Or do we only comment on those?

    There was more than a hint of racism off his post.

    I was going to point out that the majority of fatal stabbings in London are carried out by black males under the age of 25.

    But WHERE is the outrage

    Shooting on the ground is going to be an issue.

    We all know the London Met don't have a good record when it comes to proper discharge of firearms against people with the wrong skin colour.

    This one won't help given that the video is already in the public domain and no amount of false statements from the officers involved can change that.
