UK Police Shoot Man After 'Terrorist-Related' Incident In London | MSNBC
MetPolice well done.
JaRRudaM yes shoot him again for good measure
@JaRRudaM i see on YT the Terrorist pooped his pants after receiving 5 gunshots 💩
@IFFY IS BEEFY _”They had all of the authority to shoot him as soon as he stabbed the first person”_
UK armed cops tend to shoot suspects only when necessary, not simply because they can. A man with a knife does not require an armed response and would not usually have one. It was the presence of a suicide vest that couldn’t not be confirmed as either real or fake, that prompted the lethal response; on the info they had they were – rightly – required to act on the basis that it was a live device. Police arrest drunks and criminals armed with knives all the time, and without the use of arms. They don’t make headlines because they are not motivated by religion/politics and don’t involve guns or bombs so are just “Dog Bites Man” stories.
It’s the EU’s fault 😂😂😂😂😂
@urbanimage got it, but some people in the comments would agree with the sentimentality of the joke
Hilariously leaving the EU will lead to a higher influx of Asian immigrants.
Boris said it himself the other day, ‘people not passports’.
Basically, farmers still need people to pick their crops, but now Polish people will be competing with people from Pakistan for the job.
eddyk Swedish farmers through loopholes have always used people from Asia…
@eddyk
Once Poland dumps the EU protection racket, it will be able to employ it’s own people.
@Dominus Fons wrote “EU exported plenty of asylum seekers into UK. Did Brexit included a package of kicking out those same asylum seekers the same day UK left EU? NO! It will take years of purging…”
Sounds more like the UK will need a thorough denazification process, starting with people like you.
Back to the stone age…
That is a result of EU open immigration policy. They are corrupt.
gary proffitt what do we call it when the US and U.K. invade countries for nothing ? Stone Age?
Sounds familiar ?
@Dave Schultz They may are but back there trump and his parasites would already be in jail!
down there , politicians who lie and cheat do not go far!So criminals!
I like the background music!!!
“Living with terror attacks is part and parcel of living in a big city” – London Mayor Sadiq Khan
in other words…just deal with it
@Johan MB oh, you use Google, no wonder you’re so misinformed lol. try using a search engine that isn’t openly biased against Trump
@bingo_fuel Nope I like what Google says about orange tango man
@Paul Rossi Can you name some things that America is great and/or number I in
@Johan MB lol well as long as you acknowledge that it’s only telling you what you wanna hear and not the truth😂 enjoy that propaganda
@Johan MB best military, best space program, first major country to put an end to slavery, liberated France and drove Hitler to suicide in WW2, invented the airplane and the automobile, largest economy, most aid given out by any country, invented the internet, all major pro sports are based in America…should i go on? America is awesome
WE HAVE EVOLVED SO MUCH OVER THE PAST 10,000 YEARS.
@Andreas That’s where stupid started
Dr. Gonzo humans have 200 years left max.
What?
UK shoots someone? Does that usually happen
@Slim567 which is why there are so many knife attacks!….
more people die of the opioid epidemic and abortion in America than they do from knife attacks and gun attacks combined…
NoneOfYour Beeswax I though U.K. cops don’t carry firearms
Doesthisfacemake melooklikepinocchio? U.K. sound crazy similar to how it is over here in the U.S.😂
@Slim567 maybe in the democrat-led cities yes but here in the rest of the normal United States of America we really don’t have that much crime because we’re all packing heat and people think twice about trying to stab us….people don’t have a means to defend themselves and other people know that in the UK that’s why there’s so much knife crime.
Doesthisfacemake melooklikepinocchio? Don’t have to explain to me lol I live in the U.S. been here my whole life. I just find so amusing when the Brits get all nervous and bent of shape when they see a gun. Haha
Weed shop in the cut
terrorist related in quotes……………..
Exactly. Either they don’t understand basic grammar or they play word games. …I’m thinking the latter.
I think they’re just quoting someone. That’s what reporters that do.
Quoting the police… get with it 🧠
London much love from the US. Way to handle your business. Stay safe. Stay strong.
“We believed”
i like how she actually says ”saath” London. Spoken like true cockney!
@C pL my grandad was an expert in fruit tree grafting, but had also helped do the Dartford tunnel. My dad worked on the roads, but was so good at maths be became a quantity surveyor and then contracts manager. in 1888 one of my reli’s got married with an 8 horse vardo and kit worth £800, and Higham closed for 3 days and opened all the pubs! I LOVED the hop picking and was a bit of a throwback doing farm work – such a disappointment to my mum and da!
spinning debbie Apple’s and Pear’s ? I’ve been under the river via the Dartford tunnel more times than I can remember, it now has the Queen Elizabeth bridge for company. I’m a near miss cockney, East Ham/Manor Park ancestral home of Iron Maiden/Small faces.
@C pL His name was Alfred Harris….a division of the family known locally as ‘The Cocky Harris’s’, so I’m told. He did normal trees, but the peak of his career was making a cross between a plum and something, cherry I think (or nectarine?). Obviously they didnt have patenting or advertisement back then – he died in 1959 – so I cant find anything on him. …..I’ve just got a stairlift fitted…’Apple n Pear Shift’ gov’nor!
spinning debbie Plum and cherry sounds interesting.. Cherry trees are popular in East London. When I was growing up I remember a cluster of cherry trees that were pink and white straight down the middle, I wonder if they were Alfreds good work ?
@C pL that woulD be nice. <3 Alfred died just before i was born and I never got them pointed out to me. So much was kept hidden from me, because my mum was a 'gorja', not Romany. Little old men would speak to me when she wasnt there, teach me to pick up earwigs with sticks etc. A few years ago when i asked her about these people she said 'they were your grandad's pals, Titch and Tango Trice. They all married three sisters! '
If you act like an animal you’ll be put down like an animal
@Kevin NYC What’s not political about these mass shooters statements after they spoke or left activists literature explaining the motivation for their actions?
@Tavernum Its more about he connection to a group. Terrorism is a tactic. If a Neo-Nazi is using terrorism to support his cause and is part of a network or organization that is supporting him I would label him a terrorist. Some of these “manifestos” are rambling scripts of mad men which usually involve politics and its not terrorism. The left is just using this as a wedge issue so they can imply racism. Its an obvious gambit. The price we pay for this game is we cant talk about this honestly, which is dangerous.
So will you.
@Kevin NYC WE WILL SLAUGHTER YOU FASCIST FREAKS!
Wow that ‘Jeans Corner’ is getting great free air-time, I’m in there for some 501’s tomorrow
LOL
It used to be called Parkinson’s and the other shop on the corner was Panorama. 2 really nice Asian blokes run it.
This is the major difference between a machete and a semi-automatic rifle – “Police said one person is in a life-threatening condition, a second victim was treated for minor injuries, and a third victim’s condition is not life-threatening.”
This is the major difference between an organized attack by a terrorist cell and a wannabe terrorist.- “‘The November 2015 Paris attacks were a series of co-ordinated terrorist attacks that took place on 13 November 2015 in Paris, France and the city’s northern suburb, Saint-Denis. Beginning at 21:16 CET, three suicide bombers struck outside the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, during a football match. This was followed by several mass shootings and a suicide bombing, at cafés and restaurants. Gunmen carried out another mass shooting and took hostages at an Eagles of Death Metal concert in the Bataclan theatre, leading to a stand-off with police. The attackers were shot or blew themselves up when police raided the theatre.
The attackers killed 130 people, including 90 at the Bataclan theatre.”
Terror attacks are ‘part and parcel of living in a big city’, claims London mayor Sadiq Khan
@UC__Y1JAmJf29shvF6Oi5KRw Is that in the same context as “Nothing is more important to me than keeping Londoners safe,” Mr Khan said at the time. “I want to be reassured that every single agency and individual involved in protecting our city has the resources and expertise they need to respond in the event that London is attacked.” ?
I’m pretty sure I know in what context he meant it. He is against the native British inhabitants and promotes the growth of Islam in the West.
@Stephen Phillips Do you evangelise?
@Tavernum so what if he does evangelize you Muslim Sympathizer!
Brexit envy
Do your thing London, US stand with you always
The dead terrorist has been named as Sudesh Amman. Though now we should call him ‘Nolonger Amman’
“There’s the rub. For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come.” Whether Amman has ceased to be Amman or not is a pretty deep matter. I wish knew the answer to that one.
A stabbing in London? Why, I’ve never heard of such a thing in my life.
