UNARMED PARIS POLICE OFFICERS FORCED TO FLEE AS ARMED TERRORISTS ATTACK
Breitbart ^ | January 7, 2015 | by AWR HAWKINS

Posted on 01/07/2015 1:59:41 PM PST by Jim Robinson

During the January 7 terror attack on the Charlie Hebdo headquarters, several Paris police officers fled, unable to disarm the threat, because they themselves were unarmed and outgunned.

Breitbart News previously reported that “black-hooded-men” with Kalashnikovs entered the Charlie Hedbo headquarters and opened fire, killing 12 people–including those who were killed outside the building as the gunmen headed back to their car.

CBS News relayed reports from Britain’s Telegraph newspaper that the first two officers to arrive “were apparently unarmed” and “fled after seeing gunmen armed with automatic weapons and possibly a grenade launcher.”

The UK’s Independent reported that “three policemen arrived on bikes but had to leave because [the attackers] were armed.” A policeman who had been assigned the position of bodyguard to Charlie Hebdo editor, Stephane Charbonnier, was killed, and one policeman on a mountain bike was killed, as well.

It is also important to point out that the unarmed police, who were unable to return fire, allowed the terrorists to escape because they could not pin them down or disable their vehicle.

They should be embarrassed, but they won’t be...

there are many leftists on record supporting various issues that led to this massacre.

Like Obama stating that the future must not belong to those who slander Mad Mo.
His spokesman trying to have it both ways about freedom of expression vs publishing “insulting” cartoons.
Some leftist extolling the virtues of unarmed police...

It’s good that France banned guns so mass shootings would never happen there. :)

I agree with her fear of Muslims in France, but Europe’s press at least calls a spade a spade.

I don’t worry about these attacks on American journalists because they are collaborators with the Muslims.

Consider Obama statement, “The future must not belong to those who slander Islam”

This is the same as saying those who slander Islam should die.
Tomorrow is the future. To say, “Tomorrow must not belong to those who slander Islam”, is the same as saying they should die today.

They need to make sure all the signs declaring an area as a gun free zone are in both French and Arabic.

12 died that may not have had French police been armed.

Of course muslims burning cars on New Years in France was 940 cars torched this year.

Maybe if police were armed it would cut down on loss of life and property, ya think?

You mean to say that calmly "communicating" with the terrorists, sympathizing with their perceived oppression and explaining to them that the Paris police really know they're "just misunderstood", didn't lead to a non-violent resolution to the conflict?

Who knew?!?!

That also suggest showing proper respect for an armed officer.

Or, that they should be reduced to being uninfluential... but he does not understand that one religion’s praise is another religion’s slander. This is the same unbalanced, one sided thought that liberals give to most things.

A policeman who had been assigned the position of bodyguard to Charlie Hebdo editor, Stephane Charbonnier, was killed, and one policeman on a mountain bike was killed, as well.

The Ferguson protestors should love these terrorists.
