Breaking: Terror attack in Toronto

[jhungary]

You completely missed the humor in that part of my comment, Hungary. It's very well known here in the US that Canadians are very nice and polite people and get poked about it constantly.

And, you know as well as I do that if this happened in the US, chances are the second he raised whatever he had in his hand (cellphone, wallet whatever) in a threatening gesture to shoot the cop, he would've most likely been blasted. Heck every one here is talking about how this cop handled it well as far as not shooting him, but he didn't even take cover for crying out loud. Cops in the US shoot people just for reaching into their back pockets and especially if they know they're dealing with a criminal and this guy just mowed down 20+ people killing 10 of them. Even you have to admit this was extraordinary the way the cop handled it, especially when he didn't have any backup. At one point he actually takes his eye off the criminal and reaches in his car to shut the siren off! lol

lol, I do notice your pun, but I just raise the question this is how police are being trained (That is what I do IRL, I train Police department around the world, currently I am employed to train NSW police on interrogation technique....).

Actually, under Toronto Police service guideline, Lam could have shot the suspect and I don't think that's breaking protocol. However, in lesser case, I would have imagine the Police Officer facing Minassian would use other non-lethal technique to begin with, either tease him or ram him over with a squad car (Which is the Standard Procedure for such incident had this occur in NSW police jurisdiction.), this is not as lethal a situation as say, holding a hostage at gun point, or having had a firefight with the police, notice that no gunshot were ever fired by Lam or Minassian.

The thing is, we are talking about two different set of training doctrine, and I would think if US employ De-escalating technique would have bring uncountable officer life at risk, that is because the American criminal willingness to shoot back at the Police, notice that both US and Canada are similar in Gun Culture (Some US State have stricter gun law than Canada.) The different here is the training doctrine, and the prep.

You make no sense, I did not bring up the Palestinian subject in my post. I was referring to the domestic situation in the US. You then assumed I made such an assessment in context of the Palestinian subject and that it will benefit Palestinians, which I didn't mention at all. You are the one who brought it up into the discussion.

And how am I delusional?

You and I were both off topic. But look at your Mahdi remark.. oh well...
