Will the Islamophobia never end? Here is an incident that will become an ever more familiar part of the American landscape.
“TERROR STAND-OFF Knife-wielding ‘terror lone wolf’ who pledged allegiance to ISIS is shot as he charged at Arizona cop in bodycam vid,” by Jenny Awford, The Sun, February 16, 2019:
AN ISIS supporting teen who pledged allegiance to the terror group was shot by a cop after charging at the police officer with a knife.
Bodycam footage shows Ismail Hamed, 18, throwing rocks before brandishing a knife towards a cop outside a sheriff’s substation in Arizona.
He was trying to “promote terror” by harming the deputy in the lone wolf attack, according to investigators.
Before the attack, Hamed told a 911 operator that he pledged allegiance to the ISIS and wanted to meet face-to-face with an officer so he could “deal with them”.
“My name is Ismail Hamed,” he told an operator, according to one of the 911 call recordings.
“I live in Fountain Hills, and I’m owing my allegiance to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.
“I just want a cop to come real quick and I want to deal with them.
“I’d like to do something in protest for the people suffering in Palestine and in the Middle East.”
‘LONE WOLF’ ATTACK
Bodycam footage later shows Hamed talking to Maricopa County Sheriff’s Sgt. Brandon Wells in a car park.
When the sergeant asked for Hamed’s identification, Hamed started throwing rocks at the officer, prompting the sergeant to pull out his handgun and point it at the suspect.
Hamed then pulled out a knife and walked toward the sergeant despite the cop warning: “I will shoot you.”
