The Counter Terrorism Command (CTC) or SO15 is a Specialist Operations branch within London's Metropolitan Police Service. The Counter Terrorism Command was established as a result of the merging of the Anti-Terrorist Branch (SO13), and the Special Branch (SO12) in October 2006, bringing together intelligence, operations and investigative functions to form a single command. CTC has over 1,500 Police Officers and staff, and a number of investigators based overseas. Commander Dean Haydon is the head of the Counter Terrorism Command and reports to the Senior National Coordinator, Deputy Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu. www.WikiPedia.org

#4 The goal of Islam is not integration into western society. The goal of Islam is political dominance. Please examine the role of the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States, with special attention given Washington D.C.

#6 Nicely found and presented, Glurong Pelosi4071.

Your first post bespeaks a police force overwhelmed by having to track too many plots and plotters without being allowed to arrest without actual action. Your second is devastating.

#7 Meanwhile, it wasn't all Run, Hide, Tell in London during the attack. From the BBC link at 6:29:

Romanian baker Florin Morariu has been described as a hero on social media.

The man, who works at Bread Ahead bakery in Borough Market, saw a commotion outside the shop on Saturday evening.

He invited some distressed Brazilian women into the shop and gave them a glass of water. They explained that three men were stabbing revellers in the market.

He said he grabbed two crates and went outside to find the attackers and defend the injured.

Speaking to the Victoria Derbyshire show, he said: "I felt pity for the victims, I didn't know how to handle things or react, I thought to myself I'm also in danger.

"I just threw the crate at [one of the attackers]. I threw the first crate and I knew he was going to dodge it. While he was dodging it I walked towards him and hit him in the head with the other crate."

He then said a policeman shouted at him to stand back.

The officer then discharged a grenade.

#10 Your first post bespeaks a police force overwhelmed by having to track too many plots and plotters without being allowed to arrest without actual action.

The irony is that the UK has been there before. When you have many involved in terrorism in a non-cooperative population, you have no choice except to lock them up without trial as they did with suspected IRA in Long Kesh/The Maze.
