| 4. Since when do British police carry guns? |
|
Perhaps this is something that's been lurking in my mind too long, but I thought one of the defining characteristics of British police was that they *weren't* as gun-crazy as the American kind?

| 8. They were plain-clothes apparently |
|
It's not been said whether these were regular cops or some special ops unit. I'd bet on the latter.

| 6. I can very understand their reasoning. |
|
I mean..if you know that these Wacko's can and will blow themselves up at any second, you want to make damn sure that they don't "flip the switch" while you're within 5 feet of them.
I'm not saying that what they did was cool...but I understand it.

| 14. LOL, you're right. I stand corrected. Every car and building on the street |
|
the telephone poles, fire hydrants, fences would all be ventilated.
It's OK, though...there would be an investigation.
