Never have. But I at least expect their lies to be slightly anchored to reality, otherwise it's just insulting our intelligence.

I hear kids in Amsterdam get over beer and cannabis before they even have it.

The police clearly behaved in a cowardly fashion with the shooter, and this cowardice is one of the reasons for the high death toll. I predict there will be lawsuits against the police department by the families of the victims.

She was later uncuffed and she broke free and had the balls to do what a group of armed men wouldn't do.
Clearly there was an order given to stand down. Criminal.

The cops were ordered to stand down all over the US while hordes of looters occupied and burned cities. They are currently ordered not to arrest shoplifters and people using drugs in the streets of various cities. Why would this be any different?

A while back I posted re police killings in the US and pointed out that they seem to stem from exaggerated fear on behalf of the police.

Remember the social media clip of a SAPS armed cop calmly running around his cop bakkie whilst an irate huge yet unarmed guy chased him around to hit him? In the US, the huge guy would've been dead.

Anyway my analysis was opposed (Probably cos of the understandable anti-SAPS sentiment) with the claim that the SAPS guy was the coward and the US cops have the right mental aptitude.

It's not the first mass shooting where police inaction has been called on.

So it's a "damned if they do, damned if they don't" kind of situation. Damn.

Here's a perspective of things with regards to the police action - or inaction - from an ex cop in the States.

His views usually resonate with me but on this one I'm not sure I agree. Waiting for more information to come to light.
