Why did they shoot him AFTER tasing him?

Great effort troops!

Zombie?

Good anyone armed with a weapon should be treated as a huge threat and taken out as fast as possible.

Good stuff. Police finally acting tough

SadiqKhan step down!

Good. Brandishing two knives at police going about their lawful duty ...gets what he deserves. End of.

Seems to me they should have shot to disarm, not to kill :-/

Its interesting there's no video footage on social media of this incident 'central London' ?

Cue although the liberal leftie experts telling the police how they should’ve responded and handled the situation without shooting this person. Thoughts with the officer who will not have taken this decision lightly.

Great police work! No messing around. Job done!

He was holding two knives, threatening people but it wasn’t terrorizing 🙄

Well done metpoliceuk keep up the great work to rid our streets of these people 👏👏👏

About the time the police do anything it takes to protect the people

You forgot to use “man carrying knives shot dead”

One at time, keep shooting.

And then the poor brave police get investigated for saving lives shooting terrorists or gangsters

Two knives, not terror related! I'd be pretty terrified if someone was wielding two knives. Just saying...

He won’t do that again

Wow taser and bullets what a finishing move

Selling slips of toilet paper by the ounce

Excellent police work

Good on them !, protecting themselves & the public !

Well done police, now let’s move on

Well, one less knife wielding bastard in London then.

really. everyone pack stuffs and move out from that city. its a dead city for criminals

Good job one scumbag less

Simple fact dont pull knives on Police, and what was his motives for carrying knives, only to use them on someone, no sympathy what so ever, good riddence

Did you just assume someone’s gender?!

Diversity is our stench.

Gee I remember when I was a young lad in the 50s ...this stuff was as common as Sunday roast in my day............no it really wasn't..but don't tell kids under 30 that, they get wouldn't understand

Lesson learned , don’t carry 2 knifes! Oh wait, there won’t be a next time.. BlueLivesMatter in every country! Just sayin.....

Probably a foreigner

LETS UNDERSTAND THE REAL MEANING OF FAKE SKY NEWS 'man shot dead' but they don't tell why.,however they are prepared to say that it was NOT terror related. There you are guys : FAKE SKY NEWS IN ACTION

Never take a knife to a gun fight.

gangs or part and parcel?

In other News!!! 'Dog Bites Man'

Hope he’s ok

So a man had produced two knives , had to be tazered , and was then shot dead , ?

Was he stealing toilet paper?

The say it's not terror related. He had 2 knives on him.

World's gone to shit.. Man's died, we just think it's a video game.. let's see how you go! Let's see what you're like when you're gasping.. Show some respect for life. It's not a computer game.

Was he sneezing ?

I’d rather the police do their job and deal with any situation in hand and keep this country safe no matter what!

Do you guys get all your 'breaking news' from hanging out on Twitter?

Are they now shooting Corona patients?

So you really don't have the story yet.

I guess we have to wait for the chief constable to wake up in the morning to find out what we're allowed to hear about these updates 🤷🏻‍♀️💁🏻‍♀️

Seem like police brutality

'an incident which is not being treated as terror related' Can anybody tell me what this actually means?

Probably didn't have a licence for his bomb vest

The demand for toilet roll is getting out of hand now.

Brexit Britain right there

* Terrorist shot and killed. Fixed it for ya.

E happen for Nigeria too🇳🇬 shagamu to be presides but you know carry the news💔

Why do people keep saying religion of peace? It’s not be treated as a terrorist attack

Man shot alive, But dead now.

Good.
