We aren't the USA....

The terrorists last Saturday were not shooting at anyone, let alone police. They were not even attacking the police.

They were endangering life though so police made good call.

Sadly police shooting in the USA seems to be racist.

...And there should be rigoristic tests before approval for gun is awarded.

There are.

Do we need more (fire) armed police?

Agree. I don't think tasering a vest filled with explosives is going to have the desired effect.

Mass pole shootings. We hear that a lot. You guys should be grateful to me for being such a great immigrant that contributes and enriches your society so heavily
