The shots were fired by the police at the attacker. Stop jumping to conclusions before the facts are known.

Cool. So how are you "dealing with it"?

How on earth does that give you a clue to the motive or ethnicity of the attacker?

Acting Met Police Commissioner was on the scene when incident occurred.

And now you're making it worse by having a gamble over it, albeit for a charity.

When the fun stops, stop.
I was at kings Cross Station last week, and I've never seen so many armed coppers (x5) and sniffer dogs (x2) plus a couple of bobbies. Hi viz policing or tip off?
Bizarrely, in this case the video being widely circulated was filmed by Radoslaw Sikorksi, who has stated on Twitter that 'I give permission to everyone to use my short video of the Westminster Bridge incident'.
The man was a minister of foreign affairs under Donald Tusk in Poland and is a Senior Fellow at Harvard's Center for European Studies. Would have thought someone of that standing would show more discretion and respect.
Even as a wet leftie snowflake, Giraffe has got a point here. As soon as the story broke we probably all thought what was behind the attack, if that turns out to be true then let us not bury our heads in the sand. If it is a radical Islamic attack (yes, I have said it) then the issues within certain factions of the religion need to be tackled. In fact what will actually happen is people will spend more time and effort on facebook tonight defending Islam than condemning the attackers or giving their thoughts to the victims, now that is PROPER ****** up.

Should we not all follow the police example and to not speculate about this incident.

Police say avoid whole area and that there will be large numbers of armed and unarmed officers around the city centre this evening. Palace of Westminster now being cleared. Ambulance service confirms at least 10 people treated on Westminster Bridge.

Can we wait until it is confirmed one way or the other before jumping in?
When Jo Cox was murdered in Birstall, many were pointing the finger at Muslims to start off.
A subtly different point to the one I inferred from Giraffe's post. Yes, if it turns out to be, let's not bury our head in the sands (though I don't think people are anyway). Giraffe's point, combined with previous posts, seems to be - don't bury your heads in the sand, clearly this was Islamic extremism motivated. Maybe I misinterpreted it.

Indeed, hence why I used the word IF.

100% this.
And its the leftie reaction that makes people like Trump, Farage and more right wing views far more likely to gain support. Accept it for what it is, an Islam extremist attack on our democracy. Anyone making apologies for these views will have no sympathy from me and many others.

Fair play to the Plod though for running towards the incident.

So, you want to have a punt on the ethnicity of a man who has probably murdered at least one , and possibly more people while some of the casualties are fighting for their lives.
Why not a sweepstake on the number of dead or injured,might raise a few bob.
Jeez, have a word with yourself, mate!

I see your point but the video he shot is in stark contrast in terms of graphic content to some of the ones circulating around after the Nice incident.
