Hold m’yamulke ?
Should have been dead the split-second he raised his knife into the air...happy ending though.
Dumb. Never bring a knife to a gun fight.
When are Jews finally going to call for the end of the Muslim occupation of Jerusalem? When are they going to end the Muslim Wakf control over the holy Temple Mount? I just don’t get it. The world is 99% against them anyway. What’s to lose?
For those who don’t have video access or just want a summary, this moves pretty fast:
At 0:52, the terrorist is sitting, and not an obvious or immediate threat.
At 0:53, the terrorist stands up,
and at 0:54 the terrorist stabs the first Israeli cop in the neck.
By 0:59, the terrorist is clearly down and dying, with several cops ready for any additional threats.
In the six seconds after the stabbing, there is clearly an emphasis on taking him down, with limited concern for collateral damage. The article says three cops were shot in the takedown, which does not surprise me watching the video.
There is a lesson about knife fights here. Besides “don’t bring a knife to a gun fight”, you need to remember that it doesn’t help to bring a gun to a knife fight unless you can deploy it in under two seconds. The Tueller Drill is a very tough situation, but I’m certain that most Israelis have thought that situation through, especially recently, and these cops knew how to respond.
