This incident is being energetically trumpeted today by the “Islamophobia” industry, including Hamas-linked CAIR’s Zahra Billoo, once again demonstrating that actual “anti-Muslim hate crimes” are so rare that they have to be fabricated outright or fashioned out of incidents such as this one. Anyone of any race or religion who brandishes a knife, refuses to drop it when ordered to do so by police, gets in an “altercation” with police, and still refuses to drop the knife even after being tased, is risking being shot by police. Shukri Ali Said may have wanted to commit “suicide by cop,” or she may simply have been “demented,” and her death is tragic, but the way she was treated was no different from the way anyone who did such things would have been treated. Do the “Islamophobia” victimhood propagandists now expect us to believe that if a white Christian male brandished a knife, refused to drop it, got into an altercation with police, and still didn’t drop the knife even after being tased, that he would be given a hearty handshake and sent on his way?
“Islamophobia” incidents after often manufactured out of whole cloth, and this one is no different.
“Victim identified in Saturday morning officer-involved shooting in Johns Creek,” by Michael King and Tim Darnell, 11Alive.com, April 28, 2018:
JOHNS CREEK, GA — The woman who was killed in a Saturday morning officer-involved shooting in Johns Creek has been identified.
Shukri Ali Said, 36, was killed by police, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, when she refused to relinquish a knife she was allegedly brandishing, even after being Tased.
Johns Creek dispatchers said they received reports of a “demented person” with a knife shortly after 7 a.m. Capt. Chirs Byers said the report came from a home in the 300 block of Winherst Lane.
While en route to that address, officers encountered Said a short distance away, near the intersection of Abbot’s Bridge and Sweet Creek roads.
Byers said Said had a knife when officers encountered her. Byers said an altercation occurred at that point, which resulted in officers firing at the woman, wounding her.
During that altercation, several attempts were used to de-escalate the encounter, including a Taser and a foam exact impact round, in order to get Said to drop the knife, to no avail.

“demented person” ”
Last night, after a movie, one channel showed a police training film…an old one…in the form of a documentary. It was made in Louisiana. It was all about how police should deal with the mentally ill or “retarded” persons when called by citizens.
One very important point made was: “The mentally ill are rarely violent.” Rarely violent.
Now, any time a violent moslim is in need of a defense, that moslim is “mentally Ill,” or in this case, “demented.”
If she refused to follow orders and, still threatening, it was their duty to stop her.
Linda says
I guess it’s just my Western mind, but if a police officer tells me to do something, I’m going to do it without being told a second time.
Craig W says
That makes two of us.
abad says
Make it four of us and my father was a state policeman
Linda says
I’m glad so many people agree. I know I’m in good company then.
Jayell says
But this is the muslim mind! As a subservient kuffar, you’re not allowed to demand obedience from a Disciple of the Great Prophet, one of humanity’s universal aristocracy, as those eminent intellectuals from CAIR have already pointed out.
Linda says
As I see it, Muslims are humanity’s universal something or other…plague, maybe. (I don’t think I’d call them “aristocracy”). They don’t seem familiar with the saying, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” There again, to them, it’s not Rome, is it? There’s only one big Ummah. They’re completely self-centered.
ByGeorge says
One cannot be “charged” with Islamophobia. Islamophobia is not a crime, it’s a sure fire self-defense mechanism. If the bitch had dropped the knife she would still be breathing. Instead she chose to be DRT.
Pity!
Agha Ali Arkhan says
Dear ByGeorge: If Bill M-103 passes in the Canadian Senate, islamophobia will be a crime in Canada.
Older Canadian says
With trudeau at the helm it is not an “if” it is when. Scary.
J D S says
Canada going…going…g..o…n……..e…Junior and the Canadian people have done this and America is following close behind
unless President Trump succeeds and the people help him.
Linda says
Not quite all the Canadian people. Myself and a few more didn’t want this turn of events.
Bev says
For some reason the Islamists see Muslims as a “race” instead of a religion. It is not a race. Islamists come in all shapes, sizes and colors, a lot like Baptists and Catholics.
KJW says
They do think of themselves as a race just as one might say of the Jews. The Arabian Muslims were copycats, to say the least. That 7th century “race” idea doesn’t work for Islam anymore nor was it true then. Same with the “nation of Islam.” It’s part of the twisted logic (illogic) and desire to be something or someone one is not in 7th c. Islam.
Muhammad also said Arabians were the best looking since at that point it was just Arabian Muslims. KSA is ethnocentric, so that doesn’t work anymore either.
They cling to old notions.
Linda says
Muslims give me the impression that it is an inconvenience to them that we have progressed so far as the 21st century. I think they’d all prefer that we revert to the 7th century. They won’t be happy until they drag us all back in time.
Craig W says
This is the first time that have I heard the women – who had reportedly threatened to kill a family member – was Muslim.
I like I ask people if they can tell me the race of a driver when they fly by at high rates of speed … was she wearing a hijab?
If not, how would the police officer know her religion?
Being I wasn’t on scene I cannot judge … but, a gun was fired three times at a knife wielding hysterical women.
When did nightsticks go out of style?
Ross says
Look at the FBI standards for dealing with knives. You NEVER let them get within 30′ (21′ in the old days). They can clear that distance in less time than you can react. That’s your answer regarding night sticks.
WPM says
Would you risk a knife to the face a stab to the chest or arm to get your strike in with a nightstick? Knifes trump nightsticks, go for tased , tased does not work go for guns, a officer should be able to go home after his shift! As far as three times if she is tased and still coming at you with a knife your options are very limited .
Ashley says
She was apparently wearing a hijab and dress:

Ashley says
I share your concerns, Craig. I don’t know why the two officers opened fire. I would think one bullet to the leg could have de-escalated the situation if she refused to drop the knife.
As you stated, we weren’t present. Hopefully the officers were wearing body cameras and a thorough investigation is being conducted.
somehistory says
Officers are not trained to shoot the “leg.” If they have to shoot, it is to kill.
Recall the Israeli officer who was stabbed to death by the moslim woman a year or two ago? If he had shot her when she first drew her knife, he would have survived the threat she posed.
Undaunted says
As a former cop and homicide detective, I can advise that cops are in fact not trained to kill anyone. They are, rather, trained to stop the threat. Indeed, the criminal is to blame for hIs or her own death in these cases.
somehistory says
Cops may not think of themselves as being “trained to kill someone,” but all are aware…or should be…that when the gun is drawn, pointed and a bullet leaves the barrel, the “someone” is likely to die…to be “killed.”
When target practice, in which all police must participate, is happening, it isn’t the legs, arms, feet, that is within the accepted range.
Most officers are like the general public…no normal person wants to take another’s life. But when the work clothing and tools include a gun, the death of another is always a possibility.
If the person fired upon had ample time and instructions to stop menacing…the officer or another citizen…and refused to do as instructed, continuing a threat against the life of the officer or another citizen, then that one bears responsibility for what happens to him/her.
Linda says
I agree.
gravenimage says
Thanks, Undaunted.
Rob Crawford says
You know where people shoot to disarm violent attackers? Hollywood. It’s make-believe, as much a fantasy as Beauty and the Beast of Star Wars.
You shoot to stop the threat, and you’re most likely to stop the threat of you hit, so you shoot center of mass.
The responsibility for ending this peacefully was with the aggressor — the woman threatening people. If she was so mentally ill she couldn’t stop, there was nothing anyone could have done for her, anyway.
j_not_a says
A shot to the leg can be fatal too, if it hits the the femoral artery, death can and usually will result in minutes. But if the one that was hit has a gun they can still fire back at the police. That is why they don’t shoot for the leg, as I understand it.
J D S says
NEVER bring a knife to a gunfight….pure STUPIDITY!.
WPM says
Islam is like a drug it if followed to the letter as written in its holy books violent death against non-believers or persons {police, military ect.} who protect non-believers gets you the express to allah,s heaven . It is not mental illness it is following a violent cult to its conclusion with your death ,and going to allah,s heaven . I do not see what,s in allahs heaven for women who die in his cause?
US infidel says
Glad the cop came out unharmed . Hope the bullet used was dipped in bacon grease
Bev says
I think they get their clitoris back.
Jayell says
Do we have to have the gruesome details?
mortimer says
Islamophobia meaning = any resistance to Islamic aggression
Jihad meaning = Islamic aggression
Savvy Kafir says
If you refuse to drop a deadly weapon when police order you to do so, you’re likely to get shot, no matter who you are. Police in the U.S. have been trained to appreciate how very little time it takes for someone rush at them from a few yards away and deliver a fatal wound with a knife.
A far worse outcome would have been for this crazy Muslima to fatally stab or slash one of those police officers before they took effective action to defend themselves.
Linda says
I think that’s as it should be. The police have to protect themselves and the public. People need to have respect for the law.
David M says
This happens regularly in Australia as there aren’t many guns here, & disturbed people go on knife rampages. The Police get called, disturbed person lunges at Police, shortly after the disturbed person is dead.
Sentinel says
Being mentally disturbed doesn’t give anyone the right to threaten or use violence on innocent parties. Threatening violence against armed officers of the law is simple folly and, if having the opportunity to use less than lethal force the person isn’t, pacified then the police have no option.
Making it a matter of Islamophobia merely highlights that there appear to be more mentally unstable Muslims in the community than non-Muslims. Are they mentally unstable or merely incapable of living within a modern Western society ?
Older Canadian says
Both!
Chand says
“Being mentally disturbed doesn’t give anyone the right to threaten or use violence on innocent parties.”
If one is genuinely ‘mentally disturbed’, in other words, crazy then one is not responsible for one’s actions, by definition. Faulty brain chemistry is at fault.
Ren says
Kill all jihadis. Kill or get killed.
Angry Aussie says
She was “having a mental health episode” according to Zahra Billoo. Excellent! She has been cured and freed from any repeat mental health episode.
KJW says
I don’t think these kinds of comments are helpful and don’t make Robert’s hard work look good. A woman is dead. A commenter above says something about dipping a bullet in pig’s blood…I hate seeing stupid comments like that and does not help at all. Imagine people reading comments here from journalists to Muslim organizations.
I’m not trying to police comments, but I don’t think dead mentally ill people is funny. This has happened to plenty of people; in Houston same thing and then the cops were accused of being anti-Hispanic. She charged at them with a knife. I’m sure it’s happened with all types of people, but of course CAIR tries to seize any opportunity to play the victim, cry Islamophobia, and squelch free speech.
Linda says
If you’re not trying to police comments, then how about just stating your own views and letting other people state theirs, even if you take exception to them.
somehistory says
News story out of NY, police called to a child in need as she was being attacked by her mother, performing emergency care, called for an ambulance.
The mother of the child attacked them with a knife, stabbed two, was hit with taser, and when that didn’t stop her, she was shot.
The child died. The mother survived. No names as yet. But it is so similar to this account, with the difference being the child did not survive, and the officers were wounded.
don vito says
This saracen could not adjust to our culture. Bye-bye
Troybeam says
It appears every Muslim who goes out welding a knife now has mental issues that make them unable to understand law enforcement commands to put down the weapon or we will use deadly force.
What a load of BS. The Koran dictates that Muslims kill non Muslims, they may tell you otherwise but truth is Muslims cannot kill other Muslims. Read the Koran and Reliance of the Traveller: Islamic Sacred Law aka Sharia law.
Wake up People, with the influx of Muslims into Georgia and the United States more and more of these “mental problems” will show themselves all the while the left will try and cover them up, not report them as an Islamic attack etc, be on guard.
Beagle says
Sounds like the cops used every non-lethal trick they had to get her to drop the knife other than potentially suicidal grappling with a person armed with a deadly weapon. If so, they actually tried very hard to avoid using the deadly force which was justified.
Don’t threaten cops with deadly weapons, kids.
Dave says
#public enemy number one CAIR is Hamas , the southern poverty law fare center and a litany of unindicted co conspirators have brought ya’ll this atrocity with which phase IV of the Muslim Brotherhood manifesto
