<div class="IPBDescription">London is popular!</div> Armed Police just shot a suicide bomber suspect at Stockwell station. He's presumed dead. This is actually getting fairly annoying now.

    Okay, this is getting annoying. But at least we know London is well prepared. Well, at least it looks like it anyway.

    BTW, the word you're looking for is 'Mosque' <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I think it was really disturbing hearing the eyewitness describe that story. I'm really shocked at how it went down, firing five shots into a man lying down on the floor.

    Of course they wouldn't do it without good reason, the "pakistani" was probably a threat to people around him, but it seems insane to me...

    We're going through a lot of **** at the moment, and I don't think you should make jokes about it.

    Better firing five shots in to his chest so the witness could describe it rather than the witness having their organs blown out.

    Well fair enough, like I say they obviously had good reason for it.

    But they've been trained to shoot for the head, apparently, so as not to risk setting off any devices.

    They need better aim.
