Why didn’t the German police subdue Abdul Ballout with a taser?

From state-sponsored PBS:

Abdul Ballout, a German citizen with Lebanese roots, was killed following a search that lasted nearly 24 hours after the attack in downtown Berlin. Prosecutors said he had previously sought to join the militant Islamic State group.

Ballout was tracked down around 6 p.m. Sunday at a garden in Spandau, a Berlin suburb, the city’s police department wrote on X. They said he apparently ran toward officers with a sharp instrument, and police fired at least one shot. He died at the scene.

If this German-born child of enrichers had only a “sharp instrument”, why wouldn’t the famously lenient and gun-averse Europeans have subdued Abdul with “less lethal” force, e.g., a taser?

Furthermore, according to the New York Times, the shooting was especially unfair because the perpetrator of the attack on the “LGBTQ Pride event” was “a car” and not Abdul:

A German newspaper, translated by Google, on the success of deradicalization classes:

As recently as May, Ballout was in judicial custody. He was also reportedly in the preliminary stages of a deradicalization program and had already completed two appointments with experts in extremism prevention, during which no plans for an attack were discussed.

How does a person get qualified as an “expert in extremism prevention”?

      Sadly, the book “Keep Your Girls Away From Broccoli Top Palestinian Guys” from Neo Hippy wasn’t quite on the shelves yet. We only had “An Inconvenient Truth” by former Vice President Gore on Betamax videotape. That didn’t really help either though because it was a hoax. Ja.

  2. Still trying to process how my deeply religious family-man friend Abdul was savagely attacked by Buttfuckers as he was simply driving by their parade, and then subsequently gunned down by racist, islamophobic Nazi police.

    • Here’s an observation: Violent extremism based on religion is fundamentally caused by strong tribal mentality, which needs brain-washing. A regular organization with laws cannot do brain-washing. How can brain-washing be undone without reverse brain-washing, or without spending a lot of time in rehabilitation? They didn’t mention the time taken per case to rehabilitate them.

    • They deleted their staff page. Their Core Team had 9 females to 3 males ratio and they looked even less confidence-inspiring than this training video:

      OMG! They really did! :-O ! Did we touch them in the nono square?

    • In America, GenX and GenZ are going to have to pool their resources to face the sleeping giant of Millennials in politics. Once they move out of their parents’ basements. Everyone thinks it’s a shitshow now, just wait. *cough* AOC *cough*

    • On cursorily reading AOC’s policy summary on CGPT and Reddit, the one observation I have is that politics, in general, needs more STEM grads, especially, scientists. Too much fluff everywhere in politics with no crystal clear thinking arising from theory.

      According to ChatGPT China had a lot of STEM grads in CCP between 1980-2000s and it saw max annual GDP growth in this period.

    • Barak, so glad you brought that to our attention! I noticed from the article that they correctly observe: “right-wing and religious extremism…have much in common.” That has certainly been my experience with my four wives–ages 8, 9, and two at 11–all of whom I purchased in Kabul last year. The right-wing zealots just can’t seem to accept that child-rape is a special thing that we cherish in Islam (and of course we enjoy beheading Buttfuckers too!). Allahu Akbar.
