Iraqi asylum seeker, armed with a knife, stopped by Finnish police with tasers

[Aggrophobic]

"Armed with a knife". So a true Finn eh?

The finns sure know integration.

You put a knife to someone's neck you've given away all consideration for protecting your life, and deserve to die. period.

Well... Not in our country, even if you're an Iraqi asylum seeker (as in, non-citizen.)

Things can be done efficiently and professionally without lethal force.

You'll have to translate it from Finnish.

The man had struck one person in the neck with the knife, although that person blocked the strike and didn't get injured too badly. He also swung at another person, and someone else stepped in the way and got their hands injured. The man also had held the knife at the neck of a third person, but didn't harm them.

Finnish police took the suspect down using "etälamautin", which translates to "ranged stunner" or something like that, which I'm going to assume means a taser (gun), as opposed to bean bags or something like that. Still, nonlethal force.

I think the commentary on this is self-evident. Both in how the police acts, as well as the asylum seeker situation in Finland.

How dare they? Holding a toy truck is enough to justify shooting someone!

Don't worry we tend to have standards for people, unless you have bit darker skin. You'd not make the cut.

If your country was as large, and had as diverse a population as mine, you'd be singing a much different tune.

People can do whatever the fuck they want. They don't "need" to do, or "be" anything.

Why? This was an event in a single part of a single town. What does the size of the country have to do with it?

Sounds like he has integrated well, puukko and everything.

Shooting "people" like this to death is a good thing.
