French police on Wednesday in their raid of an apartment in north Paris fired no less than 5,000 bullets, leading many in Israel to question the double standard of the West demanding Israel show "restraint" in the face of terror
Reportedly 110 officers took part in the raid on an apartment in the suburb of St. Denis, where the Islamic State (ISIS) mastermind of Saturday's lethal attacks, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, was believed to be hiding out.
Paris Prosecutor Francois Molins revealed that police pumped 5,000 rounds of ammo into the apartment in a shootout with terrorists, and likewise chucked in grenades, leaving the building riddled with bullet holes and with windows blown out, reports Reuters.
Police arrested eight suspects in the raid, and at least two terrorists died - one female terrorist blew herself up with a suicide belt and another terrorist was killed in the onslaught.
A third suspect is thought to have died in the attack as well, and intelligence officials told Washington Post the third suspect was none other than Abaaoud. DNA tests are seeking to confirm his identity.
The lack of French "restraint" is all the more ironic ...

According to who?
the worn out 1970’s Ruger Mini-14’s need replacing
Maybe they will have more understanding of life in Israel.
Nah......They hate Jews more than they hate those that wish to kill them.
“Restraint? They’re lousy shots. Only three dead, and one from a suicide vest, and they arrested eight.”
True, but how often do they get to actually shoot their guns.
dam! that’s a lot of lead.. that place is gonna be off limits or awhile
it’s falling down
I heard that on Fox and CNN. I suppose it must have come from French officials.

Worn out? They've probably never been fired.
Strafe the SOBs in an enclosed space, and you’re bound to hit something. 5,000 rounds? There are some roaches that won’t bother anyone again, but their big cousins are still forcing those poor trees on the champs elysee to recycle their CO2.
...True, but how often do they get to actually shoot their guns....
Yes. Normally, French guns are never fired and only dropped once.
Q: What do you call 5000 rounds fired?
A: A good day at the range.
It seems he killed her daddy once
For spittin’ on the road
And you only need to kill him once
To get her real PO’d
(isn’t my memory a peach?)
Heck, that’s more rounds than the French fired during all of WWII.
These were dropped pretty hard once.
“Worn out? They’ve probably never been fired.”
They got a chance to fire their weapons and made the most of it. I hear one building was about to fall down.
