Looks like it. There's a clearly defined walkway on the bridge and the driver was said to have driven the length of the bridge over on the walkway. _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||

Looks like a policeman was stabbed.

TWO incidents - the bridge 'ramming' - with at least eight people injured, and then running up on the sidewalk adjacent to the HoP 'gardens, where a darkly-dressed 'asian' stabbed a police officer and then got shot. Just watching it on the news here and to say that it is all VERY disconnected report-wise would be an understatement. tac | |||

Nope, just that 90% of ALL police officers on duty around the HoP are routinely armed, hence the stabber getting shot rather than given a strong talking-to. tac | |||

UK police are armed and have been for years. In any case, being this was outside of Parliament, there were plenty of armed police around and with more than just sidearms. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan "Once there was only dark.

| wishing we were congress |
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new...e-House-Commons.html A knife-wielding attacker was shot by armed police in the grounds of Parliament today after pedestrians were mowed down on Westminster Bridge. More than 10 people are said to have been hit by a car on Westminster Bridge after a vehicle described as a '4x4' reportedly drove into pedestrians and cyclists. pics at link | |||

For real? |
And of course the media captioned one picture Parliament cordoned off after 'firearms incident' in Westminster Umm..no. Parliament cordoned off after stabber stopped. Wish they would hurry up and post a name and picture. Middle-aged Asian man could mean many things. That describes me and I'm no terrorist. Not minority enough! | |||

I have a proposal for dealing with these terrorists. If they are caught alive, they have a last bacon meal force fed and then are fed to the pigs like in Hannibal. Seriously though, are we in the minority in this country that feels like the gloves should have come off long ago. | |||

I believe in the UK, "asian" can also refer to pakistani/indian...highly unlikely "indian" in this case

He was quite weird seeing cops with subguns patrolling around the HoP.
Not all, just certain officers, and outside certain areas they are required to keep them in their cars. Though I do wonder with increasing numbers of acts of terrorism if they will go for more officers armed and carrying guns. ------- A turbo: Exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens, and you go faster.

At this point what is most noticeable to me is that in all of the pics posted so far, the police presence seems somewhat tame. I've seen only one noticeably armed officer, and he appeared dressed like the tactical guys used to dress in the TV show SWAT. Had this happened in the U.S., there would be more cops than bystanders, and they would mostly look liked they just walked off the set of the latest Navy SEAL movie and brought the weapons with them. Personal opinion, but the Brit's reaction is more calming. ___________________________ All it takes...is all you got. ____________________________ For those who have fought for it, Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

The officer involved is most probably Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection (PaDP) is a branch of the Protection Command within the Specialist Operations directorate of London's Metropolitan Police Service. Due to its responsibilities, PaDP is an armed command with most of its officers being "Authorised Firearms Officers". ______________________________________________ Life is short.
