Quote"A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a woman was killed and five injured in a knife attack in *Russell Square, central London.
Police were called on Wednesday to reports of a man injuring people, including a woman in her 60s who died.
A 19-year-old man was arrested at 22:39 after a Taser was discharged by an officer. The Met said mental health was a "significant factor" in events."
Surely it is a factor in any such incident.
* I used to live there, in the sixties and spent many a sunny afternoon reading, in the square.

I don't see how armed police would have prevented this, or a similar attack. People are not necessarily safer,but seeing armed police might make them feel safe. French police are routinely armed to the teeth. What did that prevent?
