Police say the shooting happened near a CVS on Washington Street around 7 a.m. Law enforcement officials said Tuesday afternoon that they did not approach the man, 26-year-old Usaama Rahim, with their guns out, but that Rahim pulled out a large, military-style knife.

Anybody that doesn’t believe that this country has been infiltrated and is under attack is a liberal.

Military style knife? Uh oh.

His brother is trying to say that the kid was just minding his own business when cops came up and shot him in the back. He has not said, yet, that he had his arms in the air, yet.

The FBI-led task force had been watching Rahim and two associates believed to be radicalized by ISIS and other extremist influences, according to a law enforcement official. Rahim had been monitored for at least a couple of years. Investigators were talking to the associates, and various locations in Massachusetts and Rhode Island were being searched, officials said.

The FBI noted a recent change in the suspect’s behavior, including social media threats against police, which prompted agents to try to approach him Tuesday, according to the official.

The media would never allow that.

Regarding the headline, the J-schools are still cranking out the worthless degrees, I see.

He was going to work according to his "sibling", so why with a military style knife on him?
That knife is made for killing, not box opening.

“That knife is made for killing, not box opening. “

Careful here, we don’t (yet) have laws against Assault Knives and we don’t need to register them.

A cop gave an interview after the Waco event and he said they recovered several military-style assault knives, which was odd phrasing for a cop, unless there is a new agenda brewing.
