I see in a press report from the inquest / inquiry into the attack on the Houses of Parliament, which resulted in the murder of PC Palmer
This witness the acting MP Commissioner
The Telegraph has a news piece - behind the pay wall, but this is the gist of it
The acting Metropolitan Police commissioner locked himself in his car as he watched terrorist Khalid Masood kill one of his colleagues in Westminster because he had "no protective equipment and no radio,” he has told an inquest.
Sir Craig Mackey, now deputy commissioner of Scotland Yard, said that despite witnessing Masood “purposefully” lunge at everyone in his path with a butcher’s knife, he realised that had he got out of his vehicle, he would have been a target.
Instead, he remained in his black saloon car, within the Palace of Westminster, and witnessed Masood, 52, fatally stab Pc Keith Palmer.
What would you have done in the situation, does this show a detached view of leadership ? should the vehicle he travels in not have been equipped with a radio and some basic equipment !
Had it been me in a similar position I would have got out and tried to assist the PC
