    I've read that four times and still can't work out what you're attempting to say, try harder next time :rolleyes:

    Excellent, cos that’s kind of a compliment coming from you ;)

    There won’t be a next time, getting bored now.

    What organs of your body are contained in the centre mass of the body

    Almost every vital organ. Heart , lungs, liver etc.

    Most of the major ones, it still doesn't guarantee death, if the police are "shooting to kill" as you claim then why call an ambulance after the act? Why perform first aid after the act?

    The fact is police are NOT trained to kill they are trained to stop, this sometimes results in death.

    I'd wager because it was unnecessarily inflammatory at the time of posting and breached the "don't be a dick" rule.

    From going by everything I've ever read, it's very bad practice to shoot someone like that in the leg. If he had a suicide vest he'd still be able to trigger the bomb . The police want to kill them as quick as they can without putting more loves at risk , he'd already killed 3 people why risk him killing anymore . They'd be better off killing him than wasting hundreds of thousands of taxpayers money keeping him locked up for life .

    If there is a potential suicide vest, shooting to kill is even more dangerous until you know the trigger for the vest going off. The contact can be N/C and not N/O (triggered on the release of something, not the pushing of something). Killing the guy could potentially have brought down a building.

    If there's a lad slashing and stabbing people with knives, you should shoot the prick until he can't move.

    Operation Kratos was a set of tactics developed by London's Metropolitan Police Service for dealing with suspected suicide bombers, most notably firing shots to the head without warning. The tactics were developed shortly after the 11 September 2001 attacks, based in part on consultation with Israeli and Sri Lankan law enforcement agencies on how to deal with suicide bombers. Little was revealed about these tactics until after the mistaken shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes on 22 July 2005, in the wake of the 7 July 2005 London bombings. The term is no longer used by the Metropolitan Police, although similar tactics remain in force.

    Can you provide any proof that the police didn't use the necessary force or behaved improperly? Cause so far it's just seeming like a bloodlust on your part more than anything.

    Too much call of duty will do that to lads, meanwhile in the real world they would run in the opposite direction.

    None whatsoever.

    Never claimed that they didn't though.

    I would have assumed that anyone causing immediate threat to innocent bystanders should be dealt with with immediate lethal or (at least) incapacitating force.

    Not sure where the claim I have bloodlust stemmed from, but it wouldn't be off brand for you to attribute incorrect motive.

    There seems to be annoyance at the fact they didn't kill him. That's my reasoning tbh. If you're fine with how they handled it, fair enough. Actually thought I was responding to Kildare in this case, he seems to think it was a liberal agenda that led to not killing him.

    So someone glasses another person in your local tonight, they should be shot on sight by the police?

    Well I disagree with that premise.

    I can't speak for kildarelad but I don't think there was any liberal agenda whatsoever.

    I wouldn't have shed a year for the bastard, but I'm not sad he wasn't killed.

    That's a very dishonest way of framing what I said.

    I'm not even going to bother explaining the difference between a jihaddi knife attack and a row in the local between two people.

    Police arrive, one person is covered in blood another has a broken bottle in his hand and is being aggressive, should he not be treated the same?

    Now let's change bottle to knife, should he be met with "immediate lethal or (at least) incapacitating force"?

    If someone has a sharpened knife/broken bottle and has stabbed or slashed people and is likely to do the same to others then yes, I think they should be incapacitated as soon as possible if they are an immediate danger to others around them.

    I'm nearly as radical as those amnt I?

    But I would also hope the police used discretion and ascertained, as any normal folk who weren't being needlessly obtuse on an internet forum would do, that there is a huge difference between a pub brawl and a jihaddi knife attack.

    However, if someone was at risk of being murdered, the end result should be the same.

    Now imagine that is your brother/cousin/best friend. Should the police shoot first and ask questions later?

    Fùcking irony overload there :pac:

    Police are NOT trained to kill! They are trained to shoot accurately, they are trained to aim for the center mass as this is the largest part of the body and easiest to hit (head too difficult, arms and legs moving and harder to aim for).

    One shot to the center mass can kill you, then there are people who have been shot many times and survived.

    You know, in all fairness I do not know how Wurzburg beat police are trained. It is possible that their training does include deliberately shooting someone in the leg.

    If so, I would believe it to be an exceedingly misguided policy and there’s a reason why your statement above is correct as a general rule for most forces. Further, it is not as if you can’t shoot a leg’s femoral artery and cause death anyway.

    Now let's change bottle to knife, should he be met with "immediate lethal or (at least) incapacitating force"?

    If the gentleman in question is refusing to put down his broken glass/knife or other lethal weapon, is aggressive, not responding to directions and other people might be harmed, then yes, absolutely, the gentleman in question should be met with whatever force is required to incapacitate him all the way to riddling.
    If this results in his death, its unfortunate.

    You'd imagine the police would do some sort of situational risk assessment though, with several outcomes possible depending on the circumstances.
    Secure the area, withdraw and observe.
    Non lethal force could be tried.
    Rush him in riot gear
    His nan could be brought in to scold him.
    Shooting is probably the last option, but maybe the only option.

    When innocent people are at risk, a nations security services are required to mitigate that risk.

    Shoot first. Obviously.

    If my brother/cousin/best friend is stabbing people with reckless abandon, either shoot them or give me the gun so I can do it.

    I didn't once make any accusation that the police were incorrect. They acted with more restraint than I would have but from what I've seen, I have no complaints.

    Not sure why you added that in.

    Pretty much every country.

    If it’s appropriate to kill an armed and dangerous criminal to ensure that innocent lives are protected... that’s what has to be done...

    Fûck all use wounding somebody and them still having the ability to kill or maim.

    Again, arm yourself with a gun or knife, it needs to be presumed you’ll use said weapon to the full scope of its capabilities and kill. You can kill if wounded.

    Do you have any proof that the police acted improperly, your complaint appears to be that they failed to kill him. There's every indication that they used the necessary force and handled things appropriately.




    Asks for proof that the police were acting improperly, then claims they acted appropriately with no proof either.:confused:


    The guy was running riot stabbing people.

    If the guy is ‘gaga’ that’s simply more reason to stop him as he is less likely to listen to reason... Gaga, or suffering from a psychological disorder doesnt mean he should be left loose and a danger.

    Allowing people in with mental issues that will attack the host population is not good politics.
    But they keep doing it and some people keep voting for it. Go figure.

    According to Der Tagesspiegel he said to police he was waging Jihad.
    Der Somalier Jibril A. habe bei der Vernehmung durch die Polizei gesagt, er habe seinen „Dschihad“ verwirklicht, sagten Sicherheitskreise am Samstag dem Tagesspiegel. Mit Dschihad ist der heilige Krieg gegen Ungläubige gemeint.

    The three killed were all female.

    The 24-year-old suspect, a Somali immigrant, grabbed a knife from the kitchen section of a department store, attacking several inside.
    He then lashed out at people outside.
    Five women and a child were also injured in the attack.

    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-57624115

    Police searched a homeless shelter, where he was registered to be living, and found his phone and leaflets with hateful messaging, police said.
    A witness reported that the suspect shouted "Allah Akbar" during the attack, said Mr Herrmann.

    I'm sure the Guardian will find a way to spin this about a crime against women and how sexism in society is what caused this.

    They hit him in the leg but that was not their intention.

    They shot for center mass, to Stop the target and to reduce risk to the public from the bullets.

    It wasn't a dereliction of duty that made him aim for the leg, just that that is where the bullet hit.

    Yet another example, if any were needed, that large scale immigration to the West from barbaric medieval countries where Islam is dominant and Islamism and religious extremism are par for the course is a bad thing and can only ever end in very negative outcomes.

    Unfortunately the cognitive dissonance from the"right on" brigade will be, predictably, strong on this one, as they are for all other incidents of this type - and an array of mealy mouthed excuses will be wheeled out. Allowing people like this deranged 24 year old murderer into the West just endangers the lives of those in the host societies and has no good outcome. None.

    Islam and secular Western values are utterly and fundamentally incompatible. You don't need a PhD in politics or sociology to work that out.

    The only thing they can do to gain my trust is stop killing people while shouting Allah Ackbar. Maybe the mental issue is to not realise that?

    1 million were let in to Germany by Merkel back in 2015 which is the same year this guy arrived there and now they are having problems because they had no idea who any of these people were at the time.

    I think Merkel knows she made a mistake but its too late now.

    And we are not immune to this kind of thing here either, sure didn't the Gardai find a few lads who would like to see us all living back in the 14th century spreading their toxic message in this country recently.

    By defiintion being a serial killer means they have a mental illness/condition/disorder. Psycopathy, a near given in such people, is a personality disorder.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    No.
    By definition a serial killer is a person who commits a series of murders, usually three or more.

    I'm sure some are mentally ill, but that's not the definition of serial killers.

    If he had shouted " Daniel o Donnell is the greatest living singer in the world " you'd know he definitely had mental problems , but he didn't. He shout Allah Akbar and started randomly killing and maiming people .

    I've already said it before on this thread about Ireland having one of highest rate of mental illness in Europe and yet we don't get people going randomly stabbing strangers on the street shouting Allah Akbar . Strange that .

    I wonder would you be so quick to defend him if it'd been a family member he'd murdered . He may have had mental issues that does not excuse murder , he also had a criminal record , these killings could have been easily avoided if the police deported him when he committed crimes . I suppose all them hundreds of women who were sexually assaulted on new years eve a few years , were all committed by mentally ill people to .

    It's amazing that people like yourself are willing to make excuse after excuse when migrants are involved in crime , just for the sake of multiculturalism . I'm not against immigration btw , but taking millions of young men from north Africa into Europe has been nothing but a disaster even Angela Merkel said it herself . If anything the left have shot themselves in the foot because they've managed to resurrected the right in Europe , well done , bravo !!

    He murdered people, of course I'm not defending him.

    Police don't deport people either, just fyi
