Dutch Police Shoot And Wound Syrian Man Waving Ax, Shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’
I know we can't call him evil here even though he isn't French, so lets just say another fine representative of that peaceful religion.
Quote:Dutch police shot and wounded a Syrian man Wednesday who attacked officers trying to arrest him after alarmed neighbors reported that he was standing on an apartment balcony waving an ax and shouting “Allahu akbar.”
In a statement, police said the shooting happened in Schiedam near the port city of Rotterdam when police tried unsuccessfully to calm the 26-year-old man. When an arrest team entered the apartment, the man attacked them and stabbed a police dog, which later died of its injuries.
Schiedam Mayor Cor Lamers issued a statement saying that the suspect was a Syrian who had been living with his father in Schiedam since last year.

Wow. Shocked it wasnt a 75 year old blue eyed Norwegian grandmother. Maybe there could be something to this whole profiling thing.

Not even profiling would have been needed here - the Dutch already knew a Syrian guest had mental issues (was known to gov't orgs). They just sat on information.

So you can actually shoot someone, wound them, and still control the situation? Perhaps we need to send our police to the Netherlands for more training. I've been told "it's a split second decision, you don't have time to think, it's kill or be killed".

That's a bit of a jump. You can't do this when the opponent has a gun - this guy did not (and don't even think of calling this an anti-gun post - it's not). Every situation is different.

Trust me, our cops shoot and kill plenty of people who are not armed with guns.

Islam needs to be wiped off the face of the Earth. It isn't compatible with civilization.

I'd like to see you do it. I'd like to see anyone not in the heat of a moment of crisis direct a bullet to a nonlethal spot on the body with precision and intention. If they were being attacked I can almost guarantee their wounding him was an accident.
Why show your ignorance? If I was only half as ignorant as you I'd not display it to the world, but you seem to wear it proudly.
