What's the diff IV and V
When the British police say they'll shoot to kill, they mean it, by God.
Good.
Our authorities didn't do that after 9/11, though the infinitely heroic civilians aboard Flight 93 did.
-----
Another more subtle difference: Fox is interviewing Lord John Taylor at the moment, who appears to be of African origin. Lord John is saying that the use of deadly force is fully justified, and that jailing bad Imams is also fully justified.
What would any of our black Lords be doing in such a situation? Lord Jesse, Lady Maxine, the Earl of Sharpton, etc? They would already have incited a full-scale riot against the police by now.
I think there's more hope for Britain than for us.
-----
On New York's idiotic random searches, and the bizarrely careful description of what the public should be watching for:
I wonder if the police have ever actually ridden a bus.
Half the passengers are wearing several coats, mumbling, chanting, sweating, clenching fists, fumbling with the contents of bags.... This description will do a great job of catching your basic street transients or schizo outpatients, or eccentric older folks. It also provides the real terrorists with an excellent and specific list of behaviors to avoid. ¶ 7:11 AM
