Breaking: Hatchet-wielding man attacks woman, killed by NY officer

[Dirtebiker]

"No known motive"!?

Dead bad guy, and only one innocent bystander shot in the process. Seems like NYPD has been doin some trainin.

I heard some people arguing about whether this guy and the ones in Canada were actual "terrorists" or just nutjobs. My question is, what exactly is the difference?

All I could come up with is, that while not all nutjobs are terrorists, all terrorists are nutjobs.

 

[THE BIG SITT]

Good thing he hates cops and not civilians. Idiot attacked the only people in that city would would be able to fight back...

But.... But......But they said if they take guns away, this won't happen!!!

I hope the officers and the lady that was hit make full recoveries.

Well, it wasn't a gun that was used, I guess he couldn't get one

 

[ghuns]

Can't believe "stop-n-frisk" didn't catch him before the attack.

 

[Denny347]

Exactly. SO how many years must go by before we get rid of the NY trigger? How many decades since they carried revolvers? Since those trained on revolvers are retiring and the last 10-20 years worth of officers hired have never fired a revolver, WHY are they still using that heavy trigger? Why have a heavy DA style trigger when the officer that is pulling it has likely never fired a revolver, let alone carried and qualified for x years.

Anyone know definitively if they are still using the heavy triggers, or are they starting to phase them out? (I wouldnt be surprised if they still are simply out of habit.)

Not any time soon. I believe they only get 30 rounds a year to qualify. Not a lot of repetitions so the bureaucracy compensates with gadgets.

They said he attacked as the cop was posing for a photographer to take a pic.

Where's the "photographer" that asked them to stop and pose?

de Blasio halted that practice, mostly, so maybe he shouldn't have

Hmmm, good question. Whenever I'm in NYC it is incredible how many officers are stopped so someone can get a pic. It happens here but not nearly as often as there.

First soda bans get overturned, now stop-n-frisk goes by the wayside.

The place might get mistaken for a "free" society if they ain't careful.

The story I read said the photographer was not a suspect.

NYC police Commissioner William Bratton says hatchet attack on four officers was a terrorist act by a homegrown radical.

 

[Expat]

Probably hard to deny any connection when his social media footprint was littered with support for .... that kind of stuff.

 

[cook5oh]

Hatchet attacks in New York and gun attacks in Sacramento. From now on I'm wearing a helmet and wrapping my self in full body armor.

You're just jealous...

What the hell is going on out there??

Mr Bratton can call it what he wants. Until Mr O decides it's a terror attack it's not a terror attack. Mr O needs a wake up call. Maybe a attack like this in his home town Chicago will open his eye? Probably not. He lives in a world of denial.

Touché, sir

Badly worded on my part...as usual

 

[cobber]

What the hell is going on out there??

The fruits of the fed govt looking the other way, and making excuses for acts of terror?
