Aaaand it's....
How many terrorists have been shot by unarmed police?
Headline writing is a lost art.
Weird. Here we go again with that “incident” usage from Brits. Yesterday it was “too many at the beach”, today it’s “thug stabs people”.
Was the perp, as rip van biden might say, unarmed with a knife? Why didn’t the LEO shoot him in the leg or shoot the knife out of his hand? Couldn’t he have fired a couple shots in the air from a shotgun? Time to defund the bobbies eh?
Let’t not jump to conclusions.
Is ‘knifeman’ a British term? Haven’t seen that locution before
"Incident" seems to be short for "Anything that might threaten the life, health, or earnings of a political figure." Same things that are the police's #1 priorities in the USA. :)
“I say Graham, run back and get the precinct pistol”
KnifeMAN? Shouldn’t that be knofePERSON? Funny how there’s no gender neutrality when the masculine denotes a negative. HitMAN, madMAN, klansMAN, MANslaughter MAN made climate change. As if there’s a lame transparent attempt at subtle manipulation (no pun intended)
Really?
Scots used to be tough, back in the day.
They have devolved into Brits.
I bet the “authorities” there give free-access keys to their moozlum residents so they can access the knife armory if they feel “sudden jihad syndrome” coming on. How sensitive of that society...
