Hatchet-wielding man shot dead by NYPD cops in Queens; police eye possible terrorism motive
NY Daily News ^ | 10/23/2014 | Rocco Parascandola & Thomas Tracy

The deadly encounter took place in Jamaica, on Jamaica Ave. near 160th St., when the man attacked four cops, police sources said. He swung a hatchet at the officers, hitting two of them, one of whom was dealt a severe head wound. Two cops then shot the man dead. A female bystander was hit in the back and was initially listed in critical condition but was expected to survive.

A man armed with a hatchet who attacked a group of cops on a Queens street, critically injuring one of them, was shot dead by the officers on Thursday afternoon, and a female bystander was hit by an errant round.

The attack took place about 2 p.m. in the heart of Jamaica's shopping district, and NYPD investigators, police sources say, have not ruled out the possibility the culprit sought to commit an act of terrorism.

Another one of Obama’s Muslim Brotherhood “son’s” is doing the ISIS bidding of slaughtering American citixen on the street, in the homeland!!! A wielded hatchet slicing the head open of a NYC 25 year old cop and young dad, putting him in “critcal” conditon!!! And.....another major Ebola screwup hits NYC. Mayor DeBlasio (Ban the POLICE Frisk) , Governor (deadbeat) Cuomo and Barack (USA Traitor) Hussein Obama have failed our country once again. And.....the “wonder boy” Obama’s, Ebola czar, Ron (Democrat, political hack) Cline was nowhere to be heard from or found!!! Hey, American folks, all.....How’s that Obama “Hope & Change” going for you all???

Folks.....all American voters of all political stripes included, take heed. You best be planning to turn out on election day, Tuesday, November 4, 2014, and vote against every single Democrat Party candidate running for office and effectively destroy the entire Democrat Party, politically...and instantly turn POTUS, (Muslim Brotherhoood) Obama into an immedate “Lame Duck”, useless POTUS, for the rest of his term.

Save our beautiful and great nation from the planned “OBAMA” and Democrat Partydevastation and destruction!!! Do it!!!

You have no clue dude....Just try hitting a moving target who is swinging a hatchet at you from arms length even.

I’m done entertaining stupidity.

Guys under zero stress miss slam dunks. You expect perfection under a deadly force surprise attack.

I wanted to tell you to do something a lot worse than jump in a lake.

It was an accident. The woman is in stable condition.

Like they did not mean to hurt the bystander.

8 million Muslims in the U.S; if only 1% of them pursues authentic Islam (translation: Islam that is backed by unequivocal doctrine), that number is about 80,000.

It is not "becoming radicalized", because there is nothing "radical" about their beliefs. There is a whole body of scholarship on this issue.

So when will we have debates on the legitimacy of Islam as a peaceful religion, deserving 1st Amendment protections?

Of the entire field, there is only one man that can make that case: Allen West. Search youtube: search terms of "allen west" and "islam" or "muslim"

This is probably a national survival issue.
