The Left: stupid or mendacious?

With such a title we could be here all day, but I have a specific point: this article. The main thrust of it is criticism of the police for not shouting a warning to the suspect before shooting him.

The huge, glaring omission from this article is that shouting a warning would have allowed the suicide bomber (and the whole point of the incident was that the police, under pressure, thought he was a suicide bomber) to detonate his bomb vest. That's why they shoot them several times in the head, to stop even a reflex detonation of the device.

My best guess is that this article deliberately left out this vital fact to piss on the police and hamper their efforts to combat Islamic terrorism (sorry, make that 'Asian' terrorism, as the BBC is so fond of libelling an entire continent to cover up the actual culprits).

The BBC - telling you half the story.
