The Guardian – Met Police Request Support From SAS After Officers Down Firearms 

The Guardian reports that the Met Police have called on the SAS to give counter-terrorism support after firearms officers downed weapons in protest at the charging of a colleague with murder.

The paper says that the “scale and speed” of the protest of Met officers led the Home Secretary to order an emergency review of armed policing as fears grew that the rebellion could spread “further within the Met and around the country”.
