This is a horrid thing. I would like to say, that I believe this would have been prevented if police were armed. I believe that in the US this warrant/arrest would have been served by a swat team. I doubt that criminal would have been as froggy if all of those police officers had mp5s. It's a shame and my prayers are with his family.

Does the UK have a death penalty?
