 Leytonstone Tube Attack - Westpig

There definitely needs to be a MUCH better armed response capability, someone needs to think outside of the box and ensure it happens... and wear the costs.

However, arming all police officers has some minuses.

For one thing, our police have always been reasonably approachable to the public... well that would need to change. There was a time when more US cops were killed with their own gun than by any other method (might still be the case, I don't know).

Imagine going to a domestic or a pub fight with a gun strapped to your hip.... you wouldn't want to get stuck in would you? Would that mean more police shootings?

'Double tap' is a military term. The police have to justify each shot, so double tap is not taught.

Surely though, if you have someone who has a knife and you have Taser, you'd consider using that, wouldn't you? If that didn't work and/or you feared for your or another's life, then fair enough lethal force can be justified.

The 'regardless of his state of mind' bit troubles me. If you knew in advance he was mentally unwell, surely Taser would be the favoured option, if you could?
