I just wanted to post something about this as it illustrates something that I think is unfortunately lost on many people today, especially those on the left and those who dislike the idea of the military. Military training leaves its mark on a person (as does training in certain civilian fields) - it teaches you to make decisions under stress and react when many other people don't. That's valuable.

Unfortunately in this case, the police officer still died. Sometimes the best training in the world isn't going to be enough.

Wonder if Mayor Khan of London, who said that if you live in a big city you must accept the fact that terrorist incidents are likely to happen, will be attending the officer’s funeral.

I have the save-the-wounded training, although not much trauma in my town.

I wish I had the respond-violent-threat training.

Having worked in a big city ER for decades (Brits call them "A&E"...don't know what Aussies call them) I can attest to the fact that when a stab wound or gunshot wound is involved the best way to help the person is to get him/her to an operating room.

Good point, one which I make often, especially regarding young men from families such as Romney, Burr, Sununu, Kasich, etc.

Was the officer armed?

He should have voted to let the officer carry a gun.

London is the most surveilled city int the world, with cameras everywhere. There is NO DOUBT that this crime was caught on video by multiple cameras. I call on England to release these videos so the world can clearly see what radical Islam in the EU looks like.

"The police officer sadly died at the scene. He was later pictured with blood on his face as he spoke to emergency services."

There are some really outstanding British, and Minister Ellwood is one of them.
