Default An Armed Citizenry Willing to Take Action Promotes Safety

Jerusalem 'bulldozer terrorist' was Palestinian father-of-two Hossam Dawiath - Times Online

...

But when three people leapt onto the cab of the construction vehicle, the driver hit the accelerator pedal once more. The bulldozer lurched into life again, careering backwards another 50yds before the three - a young civilian man, a police officer, and a security officer - fired close-range shots onto Dawiath, killing him.


Eli Mizrahi, the black-clad assailant who fired the final shots was one of Jerusalem's SWAT officers, who regularly patrol the city on motorcycles. He described to Times Online how he cocked his gun and tried to approach the bulldozer.


"As I made contact, he started moving forward," said Mr Mizrahi.
"He was crazed, he held the steering wheel, held it close and started driving fast toward Jaffa while ramming into a car near civilians standing by.
"A civilian who was there fired the first shot. I ran, and went up to the steps, and while he was crazed I fired two shots and neutralised him. This is what we were taught in the police force - to be professional and do our job in the best possible way," Mr Mizrahi added.
