In the cobbled courtyard of Les Invalides, Macron solemnly addressed the nation.

“To accept to die so the innocent can live: that is the essence of what it means to be a soldier,” he said. “Others, even many who are brave, would have wavered or hesitated.”

re: the terrorist: "he had recently received a summons from the DGSI spy agency and was to be informed he was no longer viewed as a security risk, Interior Minister Gerard Collomb said."

So what may have set him off in the moment was receiving the "summons" (if he imagined he might be arrested or in trouble)!??! He was a ready bomb, and the "summons" may well have ignited the fuse.

And France said to its citizens: You’ll have to get used to it.

A better honor would be to keep the bearded savages out of the country so they wouldn’t kill any more cops!

A good and decent man that gave his life for his Christian beliefs. God bless him and his family.

While there are bigger picture issues at play, we should all take a moment to honor the memory of this man, for whom the issue boiled down in a single moment to what he saw as his duty and his obvious desire to save the life of another.
