DC Police Chief: ‘Best Option’ Is For Citizens To Take Out Paris-Style Attackers
In a 60 Minutes interview scheduled to air November 22, Washington DC police chief Cathy Lanier said taking out the gunmen in a Paris-style attack is the “best option” for citizens between the time they call 911 and the moment police arrive.Lanier said citizens basically have three options–they can “run, hide, or fight.” And she said choosing to “take the gunman out” is the best option if the citizen is in a position to do so.


According to CBS News (http://www.cbsnews.com/news/when-calling-911-isnt-enough/), Lanier said, “If you’re in a position to try and take the gunman down, to take the gunman out, it’s the best option for saving lives before police can get there.” She admitted that such advice runs “counterintuitive” to what police have been saying for decades, but she stressed that the situation has changed.

But aren't D.C.'s "gun" laws so restrictive that it makes victim a criminal?

Do I even need to suggest what the UK's Leftie (aka 'insane') answer to all this is ?

Cue the British Labour Party's current official position, as championed by their new leader, Jeremy Corbyn (though even some of his own Party object !) ...

Jeremy Corbyn today faces open revolt over his refusal to support police shooting dead marauding terrorists, with even his own shadow foreign secretary distancing himself from the Labour leader.

The Labour party is in uproar after Mr Corbyn said he was 'not happy' about armed officers and special forces had an order to kill fanatics to bring an atrocity to an end.

In the biggest challenge to Mr Corbyn's authority to date, he was branded a 'f***ing disgrace' by one frontbencher, while shadow foreign secretary Hilary Benn insisted it was 'perfectly reasonable' to use 'lethal force'.

It also emerged Mr Corbyn plans to attend a Christmas party for an anti-war campaign which blamed the Paris atrocities on western intervention in the Middle East.

At a stormy meeting of Labour MPs last night senior figures lined up to criticise Mr Corbyn's refusal to support the police and security agencies in their battle to keep Britain safe.

Former Cabinet ministers expressed dismay at the pacifist's stance, days after 129 people were slaughtered by ISIS fanatics in the French capital.

David Cameron has revealed that the scale of the Paris was larger than any plot previously foiled in the UK.

Special forces have been given orders to shoot to kill if jihadi gunmen launch a Paris-style attack on the streets of Britain.

Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe today revealed he wants to double the number of armed officers in London in the wake of the Paris terror attacks.

But, in an interview with BBC News, Mr Corbyn said yesterday: 'I'm not happy with the shoot to kill policy in general – I think that is quite dangerous and I think can often can be counter-productive.

'I think you have to have security that prevents people firing off weapons where they can, there are various degrees of doing things as we know. But the idea you end up with a war on the streets is not a good thing.

'Surely you have to work to try and prevent these things happening, that's got to be the priority.'

The Labour leader also questioned if the drone strike which killed Jihadi John was legal - and refused to say if he would ever back military action against Islamic extremists.

Asked if he'd ever support action against Islamic extremists, Mr Corbyn replied: 'Well I'm not saying I would or I wouldn't – I'm saying it's a hypothetical question at this stage.'

Now just HOW exactly does THAT work? Unless something's changed, it is unlawful to possess a firearm in the District. What are the citizens supposed to do? Throw rocks against guns?
