Belgian police attacked with machete

No.
Yeah, just shows our police are a cut above in terms of trigger discipline.
nope, they were shot in a very controlled manner within a matter of seconds when police exited their vehicles... and then (unlike US police) immediate first aid provided
Nope. They charge the Police with their machetes and the Police marksman calmly shot them in the legs and then provided life saving first aid at the side of the road. Really exceptional training and policing.

The female officer couldn't draw her pistol because she was seated and unready, and an officer in the rear of the car only managed a leg, stomach and hand shot using an assault rifle. IMO good terrorist policing would have left him inert, looking like a colander... I can't see how the British public have benefited from bringing him alive....
when they were stood speaking to people filming them on mobile phones?
Realistically, none of these attacks make any meaningful difference to your risk of harm, yet alone death.

At the last count the list of excuses for immigrant terrorism sat at around 8, so shall we call this number 9 then?

Which then led to us, the tax-payers, stumping up untold wads of cash for the scum's subsequent medical treatment, their trial and their incarceration which is a whole life tariff. A bullet to the head would've been the far cheaper option.
Yes, that's what we do with criminals. Having proper justice is worth the cost.

Do you not know what the word 'excuse' means?
Wouldn't you rather live in a country where everyone is safe rather than just yourself, statistically speaking?
Which would have martyred them, that was their intention.
Id rather their aim were to do whatever it took to ensure the public safety. Leg shots are all well and good in theory and in the movies but rarely in real life.
The 'your' was generic. Terrorism is a rounding error in accident, injury, and death statistics. It does not make us materially less safe. It does not change the fact that Belgium, Germany, France and the UK are some of the safest countries on Earth to live in.
Or we could spend a fortune on counter-intelligence, drones, overseas liaison, hightech electronic gear, etc because we failed to get intel from a suspect.
Not quite as clear cut as you paint it.
Just trying to understand your logic - Are you saying that only someone directly effected by an event should be bothered by it?
#probable stupid question.
