Man with knife shot, killed by Paris police on anniversary of Charlie Hebdo attacks

[UK2K]

(CNN)Police shot and killed a man Thursday after he tried to enter a northern Paris police station wielding a knife, a French Interior Ministry spokesman told CNN affiliate BFMTV.

The man was shouting "Allahu Akbar," Interior Ministry spokesman Pierre-Henry Brandet said.

He was wearing what appeared to be an explosive vest, but it turned out to be a fake, a police source told CNN.

The attack, which occurred in Barbes, near the police station in Goutte D'Or, took place on the one-year anniversary of the Charlie Hebdo killings, the first of deadly jihadist attacks that have roiled the French capital over the past 12 months.

A fake suicide vest?

Not sure what to make of this. I wonder if he knew the vest was fake?

Good riddance

I don't think the date is a coincidence, but it sounds like a suicide-by-cop by some dude who was off his rocker. Suicide bombers don't run around swinging a knife everywhere.

It's a suicide attempt alright.

Wouldn't call it a mere attempt...

The first thing that came to my mind was... this guy was used as 'bait'.

Why wear a fake suicide vest? Hypothetically, I wonder if he knew it was fake.

[iamgine]

I mean...even if he knew...he can't be 100% sure.

Video of the incident? Sounds made up. Although we know Police would never ever cover anything up, that ain't their style.

The French Interior Ministry is known for its lies.

That was my thought. He probably thought he was going to go out with a bang, and instead, someone strapped him up with garbage.

Are you seriously defending this nutcase now?

The French Interior Minister would not be talking about "made up" events.

He's like that Chappelle's Show skit...

"What is your idea of definitive proof?"

"All right, I need R. Kelly there in the video, with today's newspaper, like 4 or 5 of his homeboys there, a police officer, and his grandma. Then I'd believe it."

If he wanted to blow himself up why was he wielding a knife?

Sounds like it, I thought as much.
But where is the video? Surely video of this can be made public, it happened in a police station. Unless they are making shit up to push more of an agenda. Maybe they can get their best video editors to draw a turban on him as they add in the sound. Cops don't ever cover shit up, amirite?

Are you seriously going that route now? The "It never happened, it's all a lie" approach?
:whatever:

Wouldn't be shocked if it was a real suicide vest and police are softening the story as to avoid stirring up this mythical anti-Muslim backlash we keep hearing about.
