We need to change that old saying to 'Why send armed police and not have them do their job?'
Armed officers, with support from the National Police Air Service, detained a total of seven dogs at the scene and they are in police custody. Several road closures are in place around Gravelly Hill and officers remain at the scene.
Chief Inspector Alan Sproston said: 'Our thoughts are with the family of the woman who sadly died this afternoon.
'This incident will be concerning to the local community and I would like to reassure them that we believe all dogs have been accounted for and are in police custody.
'Our investigation to establish the circumstances of the incident remains ongoing and we would ask the community not to speculate.'
Can they speculate on why you are treating dangerous animals as human criminals, Alan? Is that all right?
Update:
It seems the police are now considering this yet another case of 'dog walker misadventure' just as last October's. The one that saw no charges brought against the owner, remember?

"Probably because of some instructions issued by DI Cupid Stunt ..."
The news that, instead of a slavering Staffie cross or XL bully, these were mostly dogs not featuring in death cases unless you were to trip over them might explain it now...
"Where were thw RSPCA?"
They've been conspicuous by their absence. I think there's no way they can see any chance for good publicity with this one...
