I see the Islamic apologists are pulling out all the stops to call this something other than it is - terrorism. I guess those arfcommers from years back got their wish then when they hoped NYC would have another terrorist attack. To be an American and hope for a terrorist attack is revolting. To have a terrorist attack and then look for anything possible to call it something else is on the same level IMHO. Especially after reports that ISIS is encouraging attacks like this. http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/isis-terror/feds-warn-isis-inspired-threat-against-police-reporters-us-n224826 So it happens in the US and Canada, and the powers that be quickly try to dismiss it as something else. At least the Canadians have called it what it is. If we don't call attacks like these terrorism, then we are way behind on our response. I have been in LE for over 20 years. The politicization of law enforcement has only gotten worse, and the mislabeling of this recent attack is prima facia evidence of it. |

Other than, ya know, all the jihadist stuff on his FB page The cop struck in the head is in critical but stable condition. It's interesting that the scum in Canada is considered to have ties with radical Islamist groups because he would visit their websites and had a terrorist friend on Facebook, while the scum in NYC is considered to not have ties with radical Islamist groups even though he did the same shit. And that sir is the difference between government leadership ready to kick some ass VS one that bends over and takes it in the ass.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I think the point is that any non LEO would probably be held liable if we hit someone while defending our self. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Female was in critical condition. Why lie about her injury? I wasn't "lying," I was mistaken. My apologies, the initial report I heard stated she was shot in the leg. I stand corrected. That said, I'm sure the officer who shot her is having a great fucking day. One officer gets a hatchet to the head, another to the arm, he responds and accidentally shoots an innocent bystander. Last I checked, LEO's are human and do make mistakes. This was a bad mistake brought about by a horrific assault. Let's hang him from the Brooklyn Bridge! I think the point is that any non LEO would probably be held liable if we hit someone while defending our self. Go to your local public range... look around. There are reasons why their are bullet holes everywhere including the ceiling behind the shooting stands and it isn't because John Q Civilian decided to put his target there. I see folks that are armed that have no training or skill what so ever period.

Second, Muslims will not start at the point of telling them they have to quit those things. I mean, look at all the rapes occurring in Iraq. In the ISIS view, it is ok to rape non muslim women. You don't think that would go over well among inner city degenerates? Islamists are not as "morally pure" as their piousness makes them sound. |

The video shows a fairly wide open street. Not that it matters because four different people managed to not notice the guy running at them with a hatchet. Pointing out that this happened as a result of 1. Our country taking a lackadaisical attitude towards terrorism. 2. NYPD having a lackadaisical attitude towards training and 3. the particular officers having a lackidaisical attitude towards being on patrol is not an expression of a dislike for law enforcement. If anything it is a desire for it to never happen again and a sad commentary on the waste of lives and tax dollars that our failed strategy is. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Rookie NYPD Officers Overcome Their Training To Survive Axe-Wielding Jihadi
The officers had to overcome an abbreviated NYPD Academy firearms training regimen that is antiquated and unrealistic, along with the absurdly heavy “New York triggers” in their service pistols that are twice as hard to pull as the standard triggers issued to other police departments and civilians in the United States. The heavy triggers make combat accuracy beyond bad-breath distance for the poorly-trained officers even more difficult. The triggers were forced upon officers in lieu of adequate training after the department transitioned from revolvers, only to find officers shooting suspects, bystanders, and themselves because they were never adequate trained at the Academy to grasp Rule Three. http://bearingarms.com/rookie-nypd-officers-overcome-training-survive-axe-wielding-jihadi/ |

FUCK YOUR OFFICIAL Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
Breaking news now... "Based on everything authorities have seen so far, there is no indication that Zale Thompson, the man accused of wounding two New York police officers with a hatchet, was tied to any radical Islamist groups, a senior law enforcement official told CNN Friday." Yep - They checked the bad guys wallet and there was no ISIS, official ID card. They wonder why they have no credibility. |

.. Look at all the people. http://media.nbcnewyork.com/images/652*367/hatchet+attack+nypd.jpg You're looking down at a small section of a sidewalk of one side of the street. Not an accurate representation of how many people are in the area down range on BOTH sides of the street. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:Look at that packed street. Look at all the people.
http://media.nbcnewyork.com/images/652*367/hatchet+attack+nypd.jpg It's amazing that guy was able to attack cops, when there are no cops visible on that street! 
You sir are awarded most stupid post of the day. |

Generally you shoot on the side of the street the hatchet wielding guy is on. Unless you don't notice a guy with a hatchet running at you on a mostly empty street. Quote HistoryQuoted:

The hatchet guy just stood there and kindly let the police shoot him as he warned them that he was about to attack. You're on a roll with these dumb posts. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Eh, that same officer would probably put several rounds in us for trying to exercise our Second Amendment right. In before the liberals question why so many rounds were necessary. What does your first sentence mean? 
If you mean the officer "deserves" what happened to him you need to do an edit post haste.
