UK Parliament attack; 20 injured, 5 dead

[sir dooble]

The officer stabbed was also unarmed (wtf?)

Police in this country are typically unarmed besides their batons and PAVA spray.

why no gun tho

i mean sure certain police shouldn't always carry a gun but anyone protecting important public centers like the parliament or nearby should be armed...

the police around the parliament and other public centres like it are armed, that's why he got shot

It's typically not necessary. Plus counter-terrorism acts fast. The man was shot and it didn't take half an hour for armed response to arrive, so there are armed police.

But not every officer needs to carry a gun. They make the public uncomfortable and they're a liability.
But if you're in London, around the tube or Westminster then you're closer to armed police than you think.
And if you go to Buckingham Palace the Royal Guards all carry live rifles.

I've been in London and the Buckingham Palace and can confirm. The cops in London are 100% unarmed.

This, quite a few of them have guns.

What happened was the man was probably trying to crash into the gates to get in but he just ran people over and crashed before he could, my mum said something about both the car doors being open suggesting there was 2, on BBC they've said that there are 2 suspects, one who was shot dead and another person unknown who was of a different race.

I think that the police officer he stabbed wasn't qualified to get a gun but maybe not even a parliament officer, but my god is this scary, thoughts to the victims, their families and anyone involved.

Attacker's name is reportedly Abu Izzadeen, Born in the UK with Jamaican origins but converted to Islam

has been arrested multiple times for inciting terrorism and raising funds for terrorist groups and described the 7/7 bombers as "praiseworthy."

Poor muslims.

[Red Spy]

Apparently the attacker ran people over with his car before getting out and stabbing a police officer.

Sounds like the Ohio State attack.
