BREAKING: Man shot dead by police in Streatham had only been released from prison in the last few days after serving sentence for the possession and distribution of extremist material
Authorities had concerns about man’s behaviour, including language that suggested he continued to hold extremist views, but he had to be released under current laws
Whitehall source: ‘The public will look at this case and say why was this individual not kept behind bars and the Prime Minister shares that view' #Streatham
It is understood the individual had served half of a more than three year sentence. He was released with strict licensing conditions, including a curfew, and put under surveillance
Whitehall source: "The question is why did the British state now have the powers to keep him in prison"
Boris Johnson tonight held a meeting with senior police and intelligence officials, the Justice Secretary and Home Secretary

He will tomorrow announce proposed changes to the law so this can never happen again
