Why So Apologetic?

...when for once, you're doing your job?

Inspector Matt Moss added: “We understand the circumstances will be incredibly distressing for the public, but please be reassured that it is very rare for our officers to have to deal with an incident of this nature.

“The dog involved did have to be destroyed at the scene by attending officers.

"We do not take these sorts of decisions lightly, and we are confident that this was absolutely necessary in the circumstances to protect the wider public, due to the threat that the dog posed.”

Grow a pair, Insp Moss!

And hopefully when you 'investigate the circumstances' you'll have serious questions for the owner. Like, why would she feel a need to own such a brute?

Yet Again, Too Close To Home...

I was chilling at home on leave yesterday when the news came in about the latest terrorist attack, and Twitter obligingly showed me pictures of my friend's office on London Bridge (luckily, she'd chosen to work at home) and the little Waitrose I often call in when I'm working up there.

And the incredible video of members of the public tackling the terrorist and holding him down until police arrive and deal with him as all of these animals should be dealt with...

And this morning we learn that he was a convicted terrorist freed on licence! The papers are reporting he was attending an event at Fishmonger's Hall for ex-cons. And was wearing an electronic tag.

And started his knife rampage there, before running up to near Bank station, according to the position of a body in this Tweet below, then running back to the bridge. Which seems odd.

The 'Daily Mail' is still the same, though:

An unnamed hero, who was inside the conference hall, was said to have grabbed a five-inch narwhal tusk from the wall' and went to confront the terrorist, the Mirror reported.

That's one tiny narwhal!

Yeah. That's more like it.
