But let's not tar all Tunisians with the same brush.Whilst the armed police, security forces and coastguard cowered, a jetski ride seller chased the killer down the beach just armed with two ash trays.
He deserves a medal and financial reward.

Agreed Nigel,These are normal Police more used to dealing with the tourist who has lost his wallet. To be asked to confront a crazy terrorist is something else. Most normal police don't even have the training for that sort of thing.
I heard on the radio yesterday that they were armed police so should have been able to deal with such threat if that's true.
But they carry sidearms as a minimum.
Presumably they will only use them against defenceless people.

Hope not! That's pretty standard all over the would. UK is the exception. Still doesn't mean they can tackle a killer with an AK47
3 shot dead in Belgium,
Three killed in Belgium shooting
Its just not news anymore…..
Especially when those immortal words are hearddata:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7//static.avforums.com/styles/avf/smilies/facepalm.gif
Police sources quoted in local media said the man was heard shouting "Allahu Akbar" ("God is greatest" in Arabic).
Remember the Manchester police had to apologise for using those words when they did a drill for this kind of attack.
