Here’s a lovely story out of France:
They said the man was sitting at a bus stop with a knife in each hand. “When police turned up, he ran towards them, without saying a word,” the source added.
One of the officers then used an electric stun gun but failed to control the crazed man.
Remarkable restraint under the circumstances, say I.
Another officer then quickly opened fire with his pistol and hit the suspect in the chest. There were attempts to revive the man but he was declared dead at the scene.
Of course, this being “journalism”, we aren’t told how many times the asshole was shot, which is important. French fuzz typically use 9mm Europellets in their sidearms, which makes me think that he was double-tapped (at least). Or if a single shot, it was nice and accurate and blew out Knife Boy’s heart — in which the cop is to be applauded.
Either way, we should be told.
And at least the corpus delicti didn’t take a knife to a gunfight, but two knives. Which didn’t help his case much.
Finally, we don’t know anything about said asshole, but I wouldn’t bet against it being a “migrant” of African origin or else a Muzzie who hates infidels, rather than some local nutcase named Jean-Pierre du Peau-Le-Plus-Blanc.
Either way, we should be told.
I suspect that it was one of the former categories rather than the last, simply because we aren’t told anything about him.
