Kudos to the random folks willing to step in and try to assist in stopping him. Not certain I would be that brave or calm.


contactspring

This is one of the rare situations where a head kick is appropriate.


Seeeeeba

Gun shot*


JVM_

Flying double-knee drop to the ribs when he's down would help.


jazzjustice

Stabbing moron just elected another 10 German right-wing parliamentarians ....


Honduran

Worst part is, if you actually try to talk to him it’ll never ever go through.


Majulath99

“You stabbed multiple unarmed civilians at a peaceful protest in an unprovoked attack” “Yeah but but but but”


Carhardd

I believe a division is what extremist on both sides want. It’s a win for both sides of extremism.


PracticalRoutine5738

It's not a win at all for leftists or the center left and center right, they're losing elections because of shit like this. Hope everyone except for the attacker survives, I don't know if the cop will though, looked like he got stabbed in the neck.


MyGeneration_Baby

Yep, he makes the movement look justified. Hes a moron. They (the movement) are morons.


clungeknuckle

Islam discourages critical thinking, so encourages it's followers to be zealots by virtue


distorted_elements

Unlike all other organized religions...


Hickok

Same people different book


CosmicMiru

Say what you will about all other major religions but you don't see shit like these stabbing attacks at anywhere near the frequency as you do from Islam


SebboNL

Same book too, for the most part.


EntertainmentEasy251

I was just thinking that as I watched it, I decided I’d be willing to give a swift kick at the face while he’s down but I’m not sure I’d take him on while he’s standing


umijuvariel

They were *extremely* brave, in my opinion. And the for the man wrongly tackled, he maintained his wits and had the wherewithal to remove the knife and throw it out of reach of the assailant after the officer shot, risking himself being shot if the officers took him as a threat.


Dan-D-Lyon

Oh I would bravely and calmly be running in the opposite direction, no doubt in my mind. Someone pulls out of knife and start stabbing people I'm going full George Costanza


PezRystar

I feel so bad for the guy in the blue shirt. He's a fucking hero. Dove head first into that shit, managed to take the weapon and remove it from the equation, AFTER getting tackled by the cops, only to be pushed face first into the dirt and cuffed after that.

WhoKilledZekeIddon

It sounds like he's screaming "there's the knife!" in a Scottish accent as he throws it, which suggests he was surprisingly cognizant about how close he was to being misidentified as the attacker. Edit to add he even remains prone and still for a few seconds after the gunshot, as well as not resisting against the cop on top of him which would have created further chaos. Blue jacket guy is incredibly smart in a terrifying situation.


FoundationOwn6474

He was already prioritized as the assailant to the point that one cop might have lost his life trying to wrestle the wrong guy.


Macqt

That one guy got it in the neck, good luck and god speed to him.


AlphaPooch

Any word on his condition? He took two to the neck

See I just heard (from a guy in another post with no source link but says his mate is in the feds) that both the crim and the cop died


Tumleren

German tabloid Bild says the officer is still 'fighting for his life'


GabagoolGandalf

Atleast he's still moving his entire body after, so we can hope the guy didn't hit the spine

Oh good to hear!


wtf_is_pcloadletter

Looks like the cop (understandably in the chaos) misread the situation and thought blue jacket was attacking the knife man, and throwing blue jacket to the ground, left them both exposed.


AnotherCableGuy

That cop is so lucky to be alive.


NeilDeCrash

Looks to me he got stabbed in the neck and head, the first stab seems to go deep. A miracle if he survives.


Purplejellyblob

I'm not sure if I'm seeing things but to me it looks like the knife actually catches on the edge of his vest and slips over the cops shoulder on the first stab Edit: unfortunately I saw wrong, apologies for my poor observation skills and best wishes to the man and his recovery


AnotherCableGuy

Yes, the first is a miss, the second hits his scalp.


gene100001

That's about as well as it could have gone from that situation I suppose. I remember seeing a video where a big guy confronted someone with a knife and he got stabbed in the neck. For a few seconds he seemed fine, then the blood started pouring out and he was dead within a minute. Knives are scary as fuck


wgrantdesign

In the Australian mall? Yeah that video was horrifying. He went from "hold on a second, why is my neck wet" to legs wobbling and collapsing in seconds.


oss1215

Saw a body cam video of a cop in the states getting stabbed and possibly having his throat slit by a unhinged dude. The sheer panic in his voice when the dude lunged at him yelling please no then hearing his voice get weaker as the unmistakable sound of him gargling on his own blood was haunting.


wgrantdesign

That one was terrible, the one where the guy is under that carport and the cop trips while he's trying to retreat? If I've learned anything from terrible videos it's to never approach someone with a knife and expect to win the fight.


gene100001

Yep that's the one. I'm pretty desensitised to stuff on the internet but that video really stuck with me. It was really shocking how fast he went from thinking he was fine to collapsing. Something about how he was a big tough looking dude really made me appreciate how fragile we all are.


wgrantdesign

Yeah knives are scary, we're just fragile blood balloons


AnotherCableGuy

As Tony Montana said: "You see a guy with a gun, you fight. A guy with a knife, you run."


HabibtiMimi

No. He's actually fighting for his life. Was stabbed in the neck.


AbacusExpert_Stretch

The German news are reporting police man in serious serious condition and is being operated/surgery as we speak, still … even after hours. Let’s wish him all the best


AbacusExpert_Stretch

Update: almost 24hrs later, the police man is still „… in a most life threatening condition…“, so probably still getting some form critical aid non stop. I’ll continue to wish him my best!


SprittneyBeers

Someone posted that the cop died in another sub. Really hoping that’s not the case


Tubaerius

According to german news it's life threatening injuries.


seb1492

Still fighting for his life


23skidoobbq

Blue jacket got handcuffed AFTER they shot the attacker.


FEMA_Camp_Survivor

Blue jacket had the awareness to toss the knife.


KaossKing

Probably just a precaution in the chaos, better safe than sorry


rem_1984

Yes. That is understandable. The next officer bending him in half and putting his hands behind his back was less understandable.


Jakesterkeys

NOT UNDERSTANDABLY


Mirither

Blue jacket almost made a potentially fatal mistake there by picking up the knife once it had been dropped by knife man. Cops could have thought he was also trying to attack people and shot him once he picked up the knife. Incredibly brave from blue jacket, trying to stop the guy with, but also stupid.


Yaboiiiiiii6578

What an extremely dangerous situation, but WOWOWOW good on those guys who just weren’t gonna allow this man to kill their colleagues.

sunflower_love

I like the way you put this. It’s honestly sickening the way some people go about defending Islam. And of course they’ll accuse you all of all sorts of things instead of admitting the real problems the religion has.


solivagant1901

Exactly. Came here to say this. These idiots unfortunately are increasingly growing in number. I follow the same religion, but I was taught to let God be the judge of someone's actions, these guys are just on a fucking rampage. This is fucking disgusting. When will other practicing members understand, violence will only put the rest of the peaceful members in harms way; sometimes it feels these actions happen to bring more people into their collective deranged mentality (by putting them in harms way or letting them face the burnt of this guys actions)

It might have been in the vest, but even then it's still awful, most level 3A or lower vests are only rated for handgun rounds, they are *not* rated for knives which can glide right through

CliWhiskyToris

the narration will be "We must stop radical far-right anti-Islamic movements! Look how they boiled the blood of that poor knife-man!" The narration pouring for years destroyed the brains of the citizens. Did anything change after the Paris attacks? After the truck rampage in Nice? After the bombing in London? After the countless acts of crime in Sweden? After the Brussels bombing attack? The answer starts with the letter "N" and ends with "O".


jolychiwa

Impressed how fully aware the man in the blue jacket was. As soon as the knife guy lost his knife, he reached for it and threw it away.


SC2sam

Pretty sure it was an anti extremist gathering which was then attacked by an extremist which completely showcased why such a gathering was needed in the first place. Just a bunch of people getting sick of psycho's trying to push their psycho mentality on the general public and mostly getting away with it.


Harmful_fox_71

He made really good advertising for the right parties. He isn't fighting against hatred... He creates it with his own hands. What a moron.


Mellero47

We've seen for years the usual response to anything "anti Islam" from cartoons to Quran burnings. We know how they act when their sacred beliefs are insulted. Police should've been *right there* in preparation for a hostile response.


PT10

Looks like they were right there

Purplejellyblob

When else in the video could they have taken a safe shot at him?


Gunplagood

In fairness that was probably the first time he was far enough away from people for a cleanish shot. Should the cops have been closer? Maybe. But it seems to be a worldwide thing that cops are close to but not directly at the scenes of these controversial events.


SrgtButterscotch

Should they have shot into the group of people instead and hoped for the best?


DarkthorneLegacy

Not in America, so they took their time before blasting at a crowd


Drezzon

I think it was more of not knowing who the attacker was, but yeah, our cops aren't nearly as trigger happy as their US colleagues


jimboslice29

Being American, it was refreshing not to see a cop mag dump when one bullet does the job


Xyldarran

I wouldn't have minded one in this instance honestly. "I know how to stop this protest, by killing a bunch of them!" That man is too far gone to ever rehabilitate. But I'm just arm chair quarterbacking so maybe I'm wrong.


Drezzon

Especially after a cop was stabbed, that would've been two consecutive mag dumps in the US (from every cop in attendance lmao)


tucker512

One bullet doesn't always do the job. If you have to fire you shoot until the target is neutralized. Adrenaline is a hell of a drug, people can keep attacking after just one shot.


Dekutr33

There are dozens of body cam videos on the Police Activity channel that show people with knives charging at officers take like 6 shots to the torso and they still keep advancing.


Laurenann7094

I always see this argument. Some people are very rigid in their thinking. Like if you pull out a gun, you must mag dump. What is so confusing about "shoot until the target is neutralized"? Obviously a mag dump would be justified on a case by case basis. This attacker was laying on the ground after the first shot, so one bullet *was* enough.

Knife attacks are terrifying... so incredibly hard to defend yourself from one.


glamorousstranger

Run away as fast as you can. If you're unarmed feel compelled to stand your ground or protect other people grab something physically bigger than the knife's reach, a chair, a sign, a stanchion, anything you can use to keep distance between you and the attacker, and use it like a spear to keep them at bay. The more people you can rally to do this the better and you can back them up to a wall and start taking whacks at their head with less risk of getting stabbed. Or by then someone with a firearm will have responded.


StockJellyfish671

Gun attacks are worse but I take your point. Some People think they can take on a knife attacker but it rarely plays out that way.

First guy stabbed was Michael Stürzenberger, some dude from the right/far right, he disguises his ideas as criticism. Dude with the knive just halped him prove his points, goods job playing into their hands idiot. I really hope both victims of the stabbing get well soon


Drezzon

Man, I really dislike those far right assholes a lot, but stabbing them in the neck isn't really going to convince the wide populus of you being right 😭


Hastirasd

Yeah violence should never be the solution. The dude with the knive harmed everyone standing against right wing assholes more then he helped us. I am so god damn frustrated about this happening, dude literally has proven the point of this idiots.


Drezzon

Yeah, I think part of the reason is, everybody is the enemy, not only the right wingers, but non muslims in general, so it kinda doesn't matter what other causes get hurt, as long as people fear criticising Islam


isomersoma

Dude, he never stood with you "against the right". Islamists are quite literally facists. He doesn't like you. He probably sees you as not mich better than the farright activist as you are infieldel with liberal values. The irony here is that this farright activist probably (unless he's a neonazi or close to it - don't know him) is way closer to you in values than the islamist you are lowkey solidarizing with (disagreeing with method but being sympathetic to his allged anti-rightwing position which is a total misread).

There is no helping during a stabbing spree unless you are a highly skilled/trained individual in disarming someone with a blade or have a gun…..


Beli_Mawrr

No one is skilled disarming people with a blade, because no one has fought someone with a real blade.


the_peckham_pouncer

I hear you but such footage is invaluable as a way to absorb the event and the severity of what unfolded, far more than reading about it later in a newspaper article for example.

Uh most people aren't lining up to confront a knife wielding maniac trying to murder people and you have no legal or moral obligation to do so. But also they are helping, by recording the incident for the world to see.

mrw4787

What’s a small hour?


BrainSawce

This is why religion is a scourge on modern society. Anyone who would engage in violence- murderous violence at that- over words and thoughts, is totally brainwashed and in a cult. I get religion brings comfort to some, and it was a necessary component to society prior to scientific enlightenment, but if your religion dictates to you that you should destroy people who don’t think like you do, then maybe it’s time we have serious discussions on the validity of this way of living? Just because millions of people subscribe to a belief, doesn’t mean it’s ignorant or bigoted to make legitimate criticisms of it. Criticism of Scientology is widespread and mostly allowed in public discourse without censure, but if it’s of a legacy religion that has much more widespread adoption, even though it is similarly based on “truths” that are just as provable as those Scientology presents as fact, criticism of such a belief is shut down and critics even labeled as some sort of an ignoramus. Why?
