An amateur video of the police armed response to the two knife wielding fanatics in London has been released:

You can see just how much ground the first BG with the knife managed to cover in such a short time. Can't tell from the video, but I think he began the charge before the police car had even stopped. In this case, the driver would almost certainly not have time to respond.
Also interesting why the driver then armed herself with Taser when the second BG had a gun. The MP5s were also on single shot, and from a conversation I had with an armed police officer at an airport, he said that they weren't capable of automatic or burst fire.
