Badlands Bob #61228 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 France and especially Paris has been swamped with Muslims in the last 20 years. Liberal immigration and kumbaya security policies are showing results. They asked for it, now live with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I read this in the FoxNews article. Are the Paris police not armed??? "Three policemen arrived by push bike, but they left naturally as the attackers were armed," he said. http://www.foxnews.com/world/2015/01/07/shooting-reported-at-office-satirical-french-newspaper/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugs Bonney SASS # 10171 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Guns? you want French Police to have guns? I'm shocked, Shocked I tell you. Round up twice the number of the usual suspects. Ask them politely if they will please come in and if they refuse, apologize for confronting them and explain that you were only stopping white and black men because you did not want to profile Islamic Terrorists.

Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Since I asked the question about Paris police being armed, I've found out that the policemen have the option to go armed or not. Many chose not to be armed. http://dailycaller.com/2015/01/07/unarmed-paris-police-retreated-from-terrorist-gunmen-video/ I hate to make jokes at this time, but French police retreating because the criminals were armed feeds right into the numerous jokes about French cowardice, throwing up white flags at the first shot. I find it inexcusable for the police cutting and running! And supposedly the Magazine business was under police protection. France, you need to make some serious changes! Prayers up for the victims and their families. Also, prayers up for France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I suspect many Paris officers will now choose to carry a firearm. The National Police and Gendarmerie carry Sigs. They used to be .357 Sig cartridge, not sure if they've changed to. 40. They also have access to subguns and the Gendarmerie, being military, can carry assault rifles. Having unarmed locals is a stupid idea in the 21st century, especially given the conditions in France. Imagine only the FBI having guns and your local PD carrying pepper spray like mall security!

Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Initially, the WH was not acknowledging this as a terrorist attack, but since learning more about the attack, they are now calling it a terrorist attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mud Marine,SASS#54686 Life Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I (and a few thousand other Marines) landed on the beach in Lebanon about 60 years ago. The Islamic assh---s were killing Christians back then. The Syrians threw down their arms and banners and showed us their assh---s and elbows! Just what in Heaven's Name has changed. They still slaughter and we still deny it and look away and refuse to do anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 They showed a National Police patrol car with a windshield full of holes. I assume that was for the 2mofficers who were providing security for the paper so they were probably armed. But a Sig vs an AK is a bad situation. Also, I didn't hear any full auto fire on the videos. This could be because they did not have select fire capabilityor the attackers were well teained and showed some fire discipline not normal in terrorist attacks.
