Shocking details of teenage terrorist Numan Haider’s attack on two police officers revealed

A TEENAGE terrorist attacked two police officers without warning before being shot in the head, a court has heard.

The Victorian Coroners Court has heard today that Numan Haider attacked two police officers the moment they approached him in a car park near Endeavour Hills police station last week.

The court heard the 18-year old placed his hand in his pocket as two policeman approached him.

Only minutes earlier he had contacted an Australian Federal Police agent to tell him he was parked outside a nearby childcare centre.

An officer asked him to remove his hand, which prompted Haider to attack.

The court heard a Victorian Police officer was slashed across the arm before Haider turned his attention to the AFP agent, repeatedly stabbing him in the face.

Counsel assisting the Coroner Jessica Wilby told the court Haider continued his attack on the officer as he fell to the ground, climbing on top of him and stabbing him in the face and upper body.

The injured Victorian Police officer drew his weapon and called on Haider to drop the knife before shooting him in the head.

I would have reversed the order... shoot him and then say “drop the knife”. But that’s just me.

The fact that he got more than close enough and more than one stab wound means the officers were slow on the draw. Should have shot him way sooner

BANG BANG BANG “Stop or I’ll shoot” is actually a common joke here when it comes to the Victorian Police - back in the 1990s, they had a reputation for being trigger happy - they shot and killed more people than all the other police forces in the country combined. They were ‘retrained’ as a result of this.

As a result of that training, you can pretty much guarantee any Victorian police officer will issue a warning before opening fire - or at least, they will make that’s what they say at the inquiry.

Now that's "remarkable constraint"!

Guess that explains it. Still, you've been slashed across the arm and your partner's been stabbed in the face!

In aviation there is the old axiom of Aviate, Navigate and then Communicate. These guys have been hamstrung by the legal system to put Communicate first. Remarkable constraint, or as you put it, at least that's what the final report will say.

Look up the “21 foot rule”. At conversation distance, he was close enough to attack before the cops could react.

This reminds me of the George Zimmerman / Trayvon Martin case.

"Shocking detail..."

The article doesn't begin to reveal the details of the would be Muslim terrorist. Here's a Leftist/Commie article in "support" revealing how radical he really was before the attack. Followed by excerpts:

"Australia: Workers condemn police killing of alleged “terrorist” Abdul Numan Haider"

{Extremist group...}

"He had ended his brief association with an Islamist grouping in Melbourne which, while holding extreme religious views, has publicly opposed violence and terrorism."

{Reveals HIS position on violence...}

"I saw him the day he came to the [Dandenong] Plaza. He was just walking around with an ISIS flag. There were 10 or 15 police. They held him and took photos of the flag, and asked him questions. They asked him what the meaning of the flag was, and he didn’t know."

{Not allowed to leave country...}

"Police had arranged to meet him after he called the station to protest over the fact his family’s house had been searched a few hours earlier without a warrant. He was reportedly already upset over being denied a passport on the grounds that... might have been considering travelling to Syria to join the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS)."

That's from the Muslim's supporter. The next move of the would be terrorist prevented from joining the Jihad abroad was to start his own Jihad in Australia with an attack on the infidel police - undoubtedly believing he'd kill then or join his 72 virgins in trying.
