  1. Pepper Spray/Taser vs Sword means its probably a close combat situation our police are forced into. What a joke that they can't be armed for these types of scenarios as it could have potentially avoided unnecessary casualties.

  2. NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION. So in the past mounth alone we have seen so called "random" attacks in the UK, the USA, and Australia. These three natio sare hot spots for chinese intligence and there "softwear" supplied by them to criminal elements, as seen as the chinese govement announced its devolpement of "neuro strike" weapons why hassent any nation taken the fact that thoses weapons may be being used by criminal gangs on a global scale. The chinese government announced there development in 2017 ffs its nkt impossible thats there being used by criminals eaight or ten years after there announced.

  3. When will the right wing, tory hate preachers and a social media that whips up hatred against black and brown, muslim people be held accountable for their division and lies.
    A 14 year old black school boy was brutally murdered as he was going to school.

  4. The news shows the video immediately as he was white.because any other time they don't.but what they didn't say was he was a foreigner.
    Typically uk government/home office letting lunatic for in.
    And it will be mental health problems.thats the bs card he and his lawyers will use.like usual

  6. "This incident does not appear to be terror related"…. I think what they meant is, it does not appear to be extremist/islamist related. This is terror ffs
