Two Police officers killed in Italy

Bob Jones

Prove It!
Two Italian police officers have been shot dead at police headquarters in Trieste after a detained robbery suspect managed to steal one of their firearms and opened fire on Friday afternoon.**

The suspect, a Dominican migrant who has been described as having ‘psychiatric problems’, is said to have asked to use the bathroom before he grabbed a police officer’s gun and shot him and another officer at point-blank range, the Daily Mail reports.

In less than a week 4 police officers killed in France now 2 in Italy.

I don't especially like the modern police force (impressively racist and corrupt with a liking for violent responses that it does have) but this is a yikes.

Also, to those who are going to use anti-immigrant rhetoric, let us not now. The man was mentally ill, we need more concentration on this problem in particular.

It is not a suspect. He confessed.
And it has not been proven yet he has psychiatric problems .

Listen dear....in Italy we have never had such an increasing number of crimes committed by non-Italians...so it is no rhetoric...it is facts.

Really? What about the Years of Lead? Pre-fascist Italy? The Cosa Nostra, N'dragheta and so on? Seems like a really dubious assertion to make

"Yet, in contrast to the overall crime rates in Italy, the share of crimes committed by foreigners is also decreasing within every single region in Italy with respect to the regional average. This holds for all regions in Italy since 2014, from the northern tip of the country in the Alps, to the southernmost spot in Lampedusa. Today, the share of convicted foreigners is at an unprecedented all-time low. The average regional crime rate among foreigners has decreased by around 65% between 2007 and 2016."

Has immigration really led to an increase in crime in Italy?

If in fact he is so mentally sick in that he does not know the difference between right and wrong, proper immigration vetting would have exclude him from entering any country on this planet.

No system has 100% effectiveness.

So is this that anti-immigration "we want a pure white/Italian/French society" rant?
It's really interesting to note that of all the sources on the web, only the Daily Mail (which is noted for its racism and fear mongering.) mentioned their origin. And hilariously enough, it's not stated in that very article if they are first generation immigrants or not. So, it does seem like what you are postulating it to be
