Dirty Harry Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Two terrorists were shot and killed today as they opened up on a traffic cop in Dallas with assault rifles. He returned fire and took them both out. Full story here. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/32582683 I think he deserves a medal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poontang Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Good shooting. Just goes to show, the death penalty doesn't need to be an expensive process for the taxpayer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wraivi Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Wasn't such a good plan to attempt what they did in a state renowned for a huge number of armed citizens and at a function attended by large numbers of assault rifle toting police officers. Good job by a single police officer for averting the terrorism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norfolk dumpling Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Can you believe the stupidity of the Yanks, having a competition for drawing cartoons of Mohamod? Almost like decoying pigeons. They just knew there would be a couple of radicals turn up - it could have gone the other way if they had a bomb in their car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just knew there would be a couple of radicals turn up - it could have gone the other way if they had a bomb in their car! It's called free speech. They draw the cartoons because they can and because it's a line in the sand. Imagine if there was a ruling or an unwritten rule for fear of violence that cartoons can't be drawn - what next the religion or any religious following can't be criticised? Nice shooting from the traffic officer. As they say, practice makes perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadeye18 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Excellent work and good shooting!two less scumbags in the world.Its nice to know that free speech actually exists somewhere in the world theres no way the PC brigade would allow an event like this here.

Sha Bu Le Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Had this happened in another country or possibly another state in the US there would have been a terrible loss of life. Look at the events in Paris and in Scandinavia (Brevik) Not saying the American system of arming police is right for every country but in this instance their system (and the courage of a single cop) saved lives, probably lots of lives. The policeman who followed the US police motto "to protect and serve" did just that. He should have his income tax cancelled for the rest of his life and of course a medal as big as a dinner plate.

Thats not free speech that just deliberately setting out to cause trouble for the sake of it. The whole thing was Muslim baiting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And can you believe the stupidity of the Brits to allow the life of Brian to be aired, describing Christ as a naughty boy,almost like decoying pigeons, they just knew Christians would react, and react they did they laughed their heads off, rather than popping down the local flicks to behead the projectionist and massacre the audience.

KW Indeed, satire is a huge part of western culture. Different if the target of our satirical observation were always one area, then it would be persecution, but if everything else is fair game then so is holy Mo (PBUH).

KW Excellent Fundamentalism rarely has a sense of humour. It's very easy to consider yourself generally against the police being armed (and many people do, maybe myself included at times), but if I was looking down the wrong end of an AK-47 I would quite like it if the local Bobby could cap the bad guy before he had a chance to massacre me and my entire family.

Thats not free speech that just deliberately setting out to cause trouble for the sake of it. The whole thing was Muslim baiting Your dead right its baiting how awful to offend those who are easily offended, We lost some 12 people in an attack in France recently to those who are easily offended, they were offended by those who mean to offend and poke fun at all, (that means everybody) its called satire, if you believe what you say in your response, rather than spout the expected schooled mantra of we must not offend, then why are you not boarding a ferry at Dover now and storming France? over this offensive image that those nasty callous cartoonists portray of us, including you and yours as surely its the same thing? answers on a postcard why not please.

However, it's not Muslim baiting, because your average Muslim won't want to murder anyone over a drawing. I rather liked the film Four Lions - is that a film that shouldn't have been made for fear of causing offence? What about the Life of Brian? What about Father Ted? Where do these lines get drawn? Oh hang on, they are drawn in law - the law says cartoon are legal and shooting cartoonist is murder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be an issue in England, because if there was a surprise attack shopping mall etc. The police would have to stand by and watch as civilians were murdered, while waiting for armed response.

The police would have to get to the mall first,even if you arm all police you cannot stop someone walking into a crowded place and pulling a trigger. The american police knew there was a danger and had the place surrounded with lots of security. Well done to the officer involved,takes big cojones to face up to men armed with rifles when all you have is a pistol,and to shoot both is incredible.
