@owenjonesjourno You say yourself, he still has a knife. He just stabbed two people. Tasering hasn’t worked and I doubt talking to him or tickling him would work at this point.
No point in taking a knife to the leg in order to disarm him.
Bend down for a chat, knife in the throat.
@PeterTatchell@BBCNewsnight Mad up their own minds? It’s not a fucking quiz show. Had you be walking along that street you’d have been stabbed in the face in a heartbeat and begging for help!
@NicolaGormley@LessCrime Yeah they could have spoken to him calmly and request he maybe count to ten to compose himself. They could have guessed that he had no other weapons on a bloody great big bomb strapped to him.
