The men were arrested on suspicion of preparing or instigating an act of terror in the UK. A woman was also arrested Monday morning for failing to disclose information that may be relevant.

One of these days these UNARMED bobbies are going to run into a group that has different ideas about being arrested, and it will be a bloodbath...

I am always amazed how the UK police do not have a firearm.  As mad russian put it one day they are going to come up against a group who will not cooperate.

As I understand it, the modern Bobbies don't CARRY a sidearm, but they make like Barney Fife, and have MP5's in the trunk of the patrol car - that they need to get authorization to deploy.

OTOH, they didn't need 72 rounds to take down any of these guys....
