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.

The Benghazi video our governmeny lied about and pushed ... The French newspaper cartoon ... Both so related to obvious terrorism events? ... So that’s what Hillary meant “what difference does it make” They knew Benghazi was a terrorist attack all along and thought they could grubber it away.

As the LAPD experience during the North Hollywood incident made clear, “outgunned” is the operative issue. Exchanging fire with a 9mm when the other guys are throwing 30 caliber rifle rounds at you at full auto rate is pretty much an exercise in futility.
Yeah, as pointed out, you can try to disable the vehicle, but that’s pretty much it. When they have the ability to reach out and touch you before you can reach them, that whole “run away” thing (perhaps styled as a tactical retreat) makes a lot of sense.
If that’s the standard then it died in the Napoleonic Era, just after that failed revolution.
Pathetic. Even when failed policies are demonstrated to be unworkable failures, they keep pushing them.

The “in your face” black nationalist, wealth redistribution socialist now has a true face shining out to all.It is a fascist face.
Now let his true colors shine through for all to see.
Very much reminded me of the society of the future depicted in the movie "Demolition Man" with Sylvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes, and Sandra Bullock.
Well, we saw the french police man clearly saying hands up do not shoot, and what now?
No outrage at the tyranny of the religious police of islam?
London is going to double down on the religious police state of islam by allowing shariah...
Politicians abandoning women to them is not going to stop them elsewhere shooting up police.
So I am finding the "unarmed" part of the story either a misinformed translation, or simply untrue. At any rate, it's hard to believe. If the Muslims were packing AKs and a grenade launcher it is true that the cops would have been "outgunned."
Guns or no guns, there are Muslim sections of the Paris suburbs where the police do not enter unless in substantial force.
against men in vehicle and with Kalashnikovs ...
What could possible go wrong?
unarmed AND outgunned
um wouldn't "unarmed" be automatically assumed to be "outgunned"?
I almost did a double take when I first heard (on Fox) that two cops arrived on bikes and promptly left. Then I remembered we're talking France which does it's cops the way England does hers.
This crazy scenario would have never happened in America, but for the sake of argument if the first cops that arrived on the scene in America were unarmed, they could simply ask bystanders for their firearms and in short order firearms would be produced to fight these Islamofascists.
It would if DeBlasio had his way.
Pity they didn’t then. Why do all Americans think Europeans are unarmed?. France has 19m guns.
Wrong.
What are you talking about?.
One gets the impression you didn’t really like the UK?.
French police ARE armed.
Of the 261,000 French police, only some of the 18000 municipal police are unarmed. Sadly this brave man was one of them.
BUT literally 93% at least are armed, and well-armed. Given that some municipal police are armed, the % is probably 95%. So almost all French police are armed.
