Woolwich attack video: Firearms expert's view on extraordinary Daily Mirror footage
Daily Mirror ^ | 24th May 2013 | Peter Kirkham

'This is a terrible situation for any armed officer to face.

I have never ever seen or even heard of a scenario where two suspects attack a victim and then remain on the scene in full view waiting for the police to arrive.

Training covers ‘precise’ situations which are contained and there is a good understanding of what is happening and ‘imprecise’ ones, which are much less controlled.

This is at the extreme end of the imprecise spectrum.

As soon as the armed response vehicle turns the corner and before it has even stopped they have sprung into action.

The man with the knife is sprinting directly at them, he seems determined to get at the officers.

The woman officer driving may have had her Tazer on her lap as she would not risk putting a live firearm on her lap wile she was driving.'

Please see my comment on the last thread where you were being unfairly hammered. Thanks.

I think it was the shock value of it all that made people kind of stand there like "OMG what just happened". The 9/11 terrorists used similar shocked tactics on the planes they highjacked.

They also didn’t shoot bystanders, like they would certainly do in New York.

...first aid mode, trying to save the lives of thepeople they've just shot.

What on earth or? Do they need a confession to make the action legit?

In Texas or New Mexico, the bystanders would have almost certainly shot the bad guys before the cops even got there. There would be no way anyone could do that, stand there in the street for 20 minutes, and live to tell about it.

But WE are the crazy ones, not the Brits or the Bostonese who break falafel with the moslem SOBs.

"I have never ever seen or even heard of a scenario where two suspects attack a victim and then remain on the scene in full view waiting for the police to arrive."

A look at Muslim traditions influenced by the Order of Assassins may help.

Perhaps most terrifying, the Assassins chose not only a close and personal manner of killing but performed it implacably, refusing to flee afterward and appearing to welcome their own swift death."

Righteous kill. Too bad they sent these Islamofascists to their 72 Virginians so quickly.

This was a shoot out, and well done as well.

The guys in the white hats won.

Excellent point.

Though it is entirely possible these guys are not at all familiar with this history.

The Assassins were Muslim heretics and their primary victims were other Muslims.

Seriously? Gotta be better than killing a chained dog.

Quite obviously written by someone who does not have English as their primary language.

Perps were wounded not killed.

I think the British police should not have firearms. Guns are too dangerous and they might get into the hands of criminals. They should be issued meat cleavers instead. This would reduce the chances of killing an innocent muzzlem bystander.

/s just in case

In a CWC state, these terrorists would be taken out.

This incident would end with the same terrorists down after having been shot if this was attempted in a CWC state.

“We began inquiries into the comments and at around 3.20am two men, aged 23 and 22, were detained at two addresses in Bristol.

“The men were arrested under the Public Order Act on suspicion of inciting racial or religious hatred. Our inquiries into these comments continue.

Some pretty strong laws you got there protecting the reputations of these islamosadists. Almost enough to cheer on the moslem sickos to finish the job of destroying freedom.
