European Police Admit They Need To Be Armed

by JASmius



Police all across Europe are discovering - which is to say, they weren't able to anticipate - that they are both outnumbered and outgunned by the hordes of jihadists their countries have eagerly imported in recent years.  But it’s the gun problem that is making them most afraid. European cops are finding that the enemy can get just about any kind and quantity of guns they want while cops are stuck with popguns, super-soakers, and happy thoughts:

Police armed with pistols in heavily gun-controlled European countries are realizing a hard lesson fast – jihadists with no respect for the law are side-stepping gun control and stockpiling weapons that will give them the upper hand in confrontations with officers.

Europol chief of staff Brian Donald says there were two “large seizures” of firearms – particularly “assault weapons” – over the last two weeks and more seizures are expected as investigations and tracking continues.

According to TIME magazine, this is indicative of the reality European police face. Regardless of the gun control laws passed/implemented, jihadists are able to arm themselves just as those who attacked the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo’s headquarters on January 7 were armed.

Cherif and Said Kouachi “were armed with Kalashnikov rifles and could easily outgun the police officers who tried to apprehend them with pistols,” not to mention the police officers who weren’t armed. The third attacker, Amedy Coulibaly, “had an even greater collection of military grade weapons.” [emphases added]

You know what you call an unarmed police officer?  A UPS driver.  A uniformed doughnut-scarfer.  A varyingly good-looking corpse.  Remember the old saying that peace comes out of the barrel of a gun?  If the other side isn't interested in peace, and has more and bigger guns then you do, and is willing to use them promiscuously, and you don't and aren't, respectively, then you really should be notifying your next of kin to come retrieve your earthly remains.

The Charlie Hebdo massacre was not a major jihadist attack; it wasn't even a "bloody nose".  But it should be a(nother) wakeup-call, both in Europe and right here in occupied Obamerikastan, of the need for the West to at least pretend to give a damn about the "domestic tranquility" that Islamic Fundamentalists are determined to take away from us, along with our lives.

Which is why we are soooooooo screwed.
