Could you imagine allowing civilians to congregate outside the House of Parliament with automatic rifles, pistols, etc all wearing body armour and balaclavas (except for the Jay Kay lookalike - think he thought he was off to a rave) - it just wouldn't happen.

This is where I came on on this subject. It's better for authorities to calm down a situation rather than ramp it up. That's what UK authorities would have done. Of course, as Col has pointed out, there is a moment when a line is crossed and the state has to use lethal force.

It's just a question whether, when that young woman climbed through a window, while surrounded by cops and security men, and was shot without a final warning, that point had been reached.

If I were that security guy, I would have shot her too, I wouldn't have waited to ask her intentions. That's their job.
