Boston--According to Breitbart
News, a man of Middle Eastern decent, apparently in his 20s, was under surveillance by a joint counter-terrorism task force and was confronted by an FBI agent. The man was carrying a K-bar style knife and refused to drop it when police ordered him to do so.
The suspect was on foot and officers who had been watching him wanted to speak with him but he turned and came at the officers with the knife and was shot and killed. He was taken to Brigham and Women's Hospital but died there of his wounds.
Boston police commissioner William Evans told the Boston Globe "The officers have been surveilling him and again they wanted to speak to him . . . and he turned and our officers gave several commands for him to drop the weapon and unfortunately he came at the officers and they did what they were trained to do and that's never an easy decision for any officer to make."
Boston's mayor Martin Walsh visited the scene, a CVS in a shopping plaza, but didn't comment.
As this incident did not involve a white cop shooting a black suspect, Al Sharpton did not attend nor comment, and still has not paid his back taxes.
A neighbor described the victim whose name is Usaama Rahim as generally pleasant enough and told this neighbor that "he liked him because he treated him better than most other Americans did." But the neighbor added that Usaama seemed unusually guarded and anxious during a brief encounter at the local pharmacy on Tuesday morning.
The suspect were allegedly investigating Usaama Rahim to determine whether he "had become radicalized by ISIS-inspired social media messages," or from simply doing a careful reading of the Koran.
The police have expressed their gratitude to the public for not throwing rocks at them during the encounter, but they added that they totally understand if the public chooses to march against them for this brutal act of self-defense.
The Rev. Al Sharpton said that he will take this into consideration and added, "No justice, no peas."
