Several Paris police officers who came into contact with the armed terrorists who slaughtered 10 journalists at the headquarters of Charlie Hebdo, a satirical magazine, retreated from the gunmen because they were unarmed, according to an eyewitness.
“Three policemen had arrived on bikes but had to leave because the men were armed, obviously,” Benoit Bringer, who works on the same floor as Charlie Hebdo’s offices, told France Info radio, according to The Guardian. “Then the attackers took off in a car.”

It’s easier to surrender when you are unarmed.
WHY MUSLIMS ARE VIOLENT
This is pretty straight forward folks. There are peaceful Muslims, but there is no such thing as peaceful Islam. Violence is not an aberration in Islam—it is DOCTRINE. Dozens of passages in the Quran exhort Muslims to hate or kill or terrorize infidels (non-Muslims) wherever they find them. For examples, see Suras 2:190-193, 2:216, 2:244, 3:56, 3:142, 3:151, 4:56, 4:74 (beheading), 4:76, 4:84, 4:89, 4:91, 4:95, 4:104, 5:51, 5:32-38, 7:96-99, 8:12-15 (beheading), 8:39, 8:57-60, 8:65-67, 9:5, 9:14, 9:20-30, 9:38-41, 9:73, 9:88, 9:111, 9:123, 17:16, 18:65-81, 21:44, 22:18-22, 25:52, 33:60-62, 47:3-4 (beheading), 47:35, 48:16-17, 48:29, 61:4, and 66:8-12. These are the passages that jihadists quote in defense of their horrible atrocities. Unlike the Old Testament, violence in the Quran is mostly open-ended, that is, not restrained by the historical context of the surrounding events.
While there are a couple of passages that Muslims point to that might suggest peaceful solutions (Suras 2:256, 29:46, 41:34), these are overwhelmed by the violent ones. Indeed, the peaceful passages were abrogated by the violent ones—because the violent ones were written later, after Muhammad’s move to Medina (from Mecca). Anyone who wants to commit acts of violence has perfect justification for doing so from the Quran. There is nothing in the Quran comparable to Jesus’ teachings to “turn the other cheek” and to “love your neighbor.”
You can look these passages up for yourself. Below is a site that has three translations of the Quran side-by-side. (Note: English translators of the Quran sometimes try to soften the true Arabic meaning of some of these passages. For example, to “fight” really means to kill in Arabic.)

In addition to the Quran are the hadiths. These are collections of sayings and actions of Muhammad. Indeed, Muhammad was one of the most violent men in history, setting the example for all Muslims to follow. See this link:

It really is a careful marksmanship game. Cover, and engaging from concealment, The first they should know is when they are being shot. No verbal challenges.
And when I was in France about a decade ago, the cops all had pistols. Didn’t know it had changed. And absolutely yes, the preference is the biggest gun you can get.
There are two separate police forces in Paris, the Nationale, who are armed, and the Municipale, who are essentially traffic and parking enforcement and are not armed.
Soft targets. Low-hanging fruit.
The Paris police had no weapons. Think the terrorists knew that. Leftists around the world have no idea what they’re dealing with here. The Jihadists see this as a modern Crusades against the west and they’re going all out to see it through. Meanwhile, the worldwide left condemns Israel and plays footsie with the Muslim terrorists. Why should what happened today in Paris be a shock? It’s going to happen with more frequency. We need to stop listening to all these “terrorist” experts on all the cable shows. They don’t know anymore about these kooks than all of us do. Your gut and mine tells us they want to destroy the western world.
At least unarmed policemen won’t be shooting any innocent teenagers in the area.
another case which shows the idiocy of have unarmed police, or unarmed lawabing citizens, for that matter, out in public. I worry a lot about NYC because of the state’s strong anti-gun laws.
At least their NYPD officers are armed. Maybe this will stop that idiot mayor deBlasio from disarming the police. He is so lacking in wisdom, that he may actually try it.
Probably a couple of black French thugs got themselves shot and the lefties decided cops shouldn’t have guns.

Thanks. I thought there was some division like that. For instance, I have never seen a “meter maid” packing heat.
I knew the news dorks would explain why they were unarmed.. (Ha Ha Ha, that was sarcasm).
“Dobbs: French cops choose to carry or not; in this case, they chose not to”
The political bosses decide who carries, not the cop on the beat.
“The policemen had arrived on bikes but had to leave because the men were armed”
I had a mental image also. The Terminator on a Fat Boy with the lever action 12 gage.
PLO community organizers landed on an Israeli beach at night back in the 80s and commenced workplace violencing. They had AKs but one of them was dropped by a local citizen who shot him twice in the chest with a 45 Colt single-action revolver.
And there was the 60ish old guy using a 1911 at the little central Texas mobile home park who took out the murderer at 55 yards a couple of years ago.

That’s what rev all wants, UNARMED white cops in black areas.
"What fools these mortals be."

Unarmed police on bikes.
Brilliant!
Cops who’s primary job is to protect and most of them must be afraid to carry guns. France is a joke.
