Sounds like law enforcement specialists, not beat cops, decided to confront the guy, who was part of an active investigation.

Gonna be interesting to hear the details.

Is that like, what, an "assault knife?"

The story is still pretty sketchy.

Identity? Motive? How'd they find him?

Yeah, that's why I posted what I did. The only telling detail is who was involved on the law enforcement side. IMHO it's the only thing making this a non-story.

His brother's apparently an Imam who was based in Boston, at least at one time.

Who knows? The press will no doubt have a field day, but nobody else is saying much at this point.

The only real reason I posted was because it's so close to where I am. I've already carefully selected a route home to avoid American drivers going faster than 45mph, now I have to deal with this!

A man who was fatally shot by police in Boston on Tuesday was part of a broader terror investigation involving suspected Islamist extremists being tracked by the U.S. Joint Terrorism Task Force, a law enforcement official said.

The suspect belonged to an ad hoc terror network, said a second law enforcement source.

Police and federal agents shot and killed the man after he waved a large military-style knife at officers, authorities said.

The suspect was identified as Usaama Rahim, according to his brother, Ibrahim Rahim, who posted about the death on social media.

The FBI-led task force had been watching Rahim and two associates believed to be radicalized by ISIS and other extremist influences, according to a law enforcement official. Rahim had been monitored for at least a couple years.

The FBI noted a recent change in the suspect's behavior, including social media threats against police, which prompted them to try to approach him Tuesday, according to the official.

I wonder if he flipped over the edge after the death sentencing of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev...

Obviously it's hard to say for sure, however his brother looks African-American rather than middle-Eastern. It will be interesting to see how this is reported.

So, they've been watching this guy around the clock, knew he had knife, knew he'd been making threats and had been "radicalized" (whatever that means, maybe like caramelized) and then two cops just stroll up to have a few words, a little talk, and kill him.

I wonder how much the FBI paid for the knife.

More than Occam paid for his razor, I would imagine.

Since it's Boston, I imagine the Irish Illuminati are involved.

You do realize that there are probably 800,000 people in the circle of radius 7 miles around you. :whome:

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

Coincidence?
