London Bridge is their patch so it makes sense.
I've been following it on the BBC but as ever, it's too early to know what's being reported is accurate.
Any info on the attacker?
Thank you.

Nah, not that I have.
I was surprised that it was SFOs. Maybe City of London police is different, but I was under the impression that SFOs are their equivalent to a SWAT team, whereas Armed Response Vehicles are usually staffed by AFOs. She said that City of London only uses AFOs for pre-assigned details/duties, so any armed response coming from City of London are almost assuredly SFOs.
Maybe I have a completely wrong understanding of their structure, or maybe that's City of London's way of splitting the difference between AFOs and CSTFO, since they're a small department (by UK standards) and don't have CTSFO.

Good grief.

She's dang lucky she didn't go out of there in a body bag.

Your right, but I am talking about Mom. Also the officer. I think a tactical retreat/regroup was in order here. Trooper told me once he checked on 6 shit heads on side of the interstate. They threatened, MF’d him and told him to leave or it was his ass. He simply smiled, said your right, and did a tactical retreat. He then called in six of his trooper pals and went back to have a different conversation. Most went to jail with no issues. This officer should have realized she wasn’t in control and wasn’t getting it without help.
The mom survived but remains hospitalized following multiple surgeries. Deputy, who just finished basic in February, got a concussion and is on administrative leave pending investigation; Sheriff says no policy violation.
A tactical retreat might have won the day without this mess; a tazer might've, too. The deputy appeared lacking in either the disposition or the training (or both) for this (not uncommon) situation. It was pretty bad, but I'm glad it wasn't worse.
Kudos to the second deputy to arrive, who cleaned it up fast and had the presence of mind to talk her through her shock, secure the scene and make the arrest.
Hain’t we got all the fools in town on our side? And ain’t that a big enough majority in any town?
Wow, that was a cluster.
There's nothing civil about this war.

A reminder to avoid packs unless there's no recourse...
Off-duty officer was good to want to help the robbery victim, but with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, he should've steered her away from the group and toward security and then surreptitiously taken pics while waiting for the cavalry.

Definitely a cluster, but I found the back-up officer’s throat-kick to the bad guy to be very satisfying.
