Hamas is not a poor organization, they have many revenue sources including taxes, crime, direct payments from friendly Arab countries, and pilfered aid money. More money for Hamas isn't going to be the difference maker that puts them on the same level as the military of Israel.
And then Anthony Blinken can sort of shrug and say “Well we can always talk about a cease-fire, if you’re worried about things getting violent. How does that sound? They already said they’d be okay with that.”
This is just a fantasy of yours, and quite a strange one tbh.
Desperate times call for desperate measures, who knows what his plan with the infant was? He beat the shit out of a woman and shot at her, is the baby not at risk?
That's a different scenario. If someone is slowly advancing, non lethal tools can be used. When someone is charging full speed, they can't.
who had responded to a frantic 911 call from a woman who said she had been beaten by her boyfriend, who fired a shot at her and had taken their 1-year-old daughter, according to police. The woman reported her boyfriend, Fuhr, had assaulted her throughout the day, and police said she had significant injuries.
Women and children are safer without this guy around, all credit goes to the marksman - one shot only!
In some cases they can, but here the officer was charged and the attacker was able to get very close, another second and the officer could have been hit and then who knows what would happen. The footage shows a very clear threat.
Yeah. It sucks, but what did the family expect? They couldn't control him and as soon as the police arrived he charged them with a weapon. Shit situation, but an entirely justified shooting.
It was and will be ruled so when the investigation is complete. No one wants to see a 15 year old die, but it was clearly justified.
If the police are trying to arrest him and the mother is right there why didn't he give her the child?
Activists have been pushing things too far and now people are pushing back.
