Trained soldiers are NOT baby sitters, nor is their purpose to be victims with someone threatening them with a knife--In your home town, your police would react as the soldiers did when faced with an armed assailant--

Don`t give me that BS about Tazers, rubber bullets or tear gas-- he wasn`t using a rubber knife and soldiers generally don`t carry tasers, tear gas must be used with a favorable wind, otherwise it blows the wrong way and harms the people using it--Rubber bullets, not too practical, they can only be fired one at a time, accuracy isn`t very good--

Since one was shot a few weeks ago, then this moron should have known better to repeat the same stunt--

In your lopsided view of things, Palestinian`s can do no wrong, even when they`re caught with a weapon in hand making a direct threat--
