Maybe they should. But to put this back into context. How many mass murders have there been in England in the past 10 years? Now compare that to how many there are in the USA.

In January, for example, the Met investigated eight murders in London. The NYPD looked into 18 killings.

And that means that while Scotland Yard has opened 48 homicide inquiries so far this year, New York has in fact opened 50 murder files.

Looking at 2017, the homicide rate per 100,000 population stood at 1.2 in London and 3.4 in New York.

It’s a statistical blip.
