There are no surprises on the bodycam. We knew. We knew immediately. The police knew immediately. Everybody knows.

In the Pulse attack, we knew it was jihad when devout Muslim Omar Mateen called 911 in the middle of his mass slaughter and pledged his allegiance to the Islamic State. But it didn’t matter. It never does. Little girls singing and dancing with pure joy at a pop concert one moment, then targeted for death with a bomb designed for maximum pain, suffering and death. Nails, nuts, shrapnel designed to tear into flesh and bone. That didn’t matter. Coworkers and holiday revelers at an office Christmas party in San Bernardino didn’t matter. Moms and dads and their kids celebrating Independence day (Bastille day) in France didn’t matter. Concert goers dancing at a music hall in Paris were shot down like dogs, their eyes gouged out eyes, many castrated with their testicles shoved in their mouths, others disemboweled, women were reportedly stabbed in the genitals – and the torture was filmed for Islamic propaganda. That didn’t matter. Children skipping to class at a Jewish day school mowed down by a devout Muslim who filmed it for Islamic purposes didn’t matter. Writers, cartoonists and editors at a French weekly murdered in cold blood didn’t matter.

Instead, those in power in media, in government, in academia weep for the perps and their coreligionists. They loathe those who oppose. Respect the ideology that incites unspeakable savagery, so we are told. Do not hurt their feelings. They decry those of us who fight back. Go quietly, the demand, or we will destroy your name, your reputation, your life.

The West surrendered long ago and until we rise up and fight, it will continue to get worse. Unless we go to war, the sun will set on the West.

Source: ‘Terrorism in Orlando’: Pulse Nightclub Shooting Bodycam Released | NBC New York (thanks to Todd): The videos were released Wednesday to ABC News, the Orlando Sentinel and the newspaper’s news partner, Fox 35. Newly-released video from bodycams on officers responding to a mass shooting at a Florida gay nightclub shows shattered glass inside the club, the sounds of automatic gunfire and an officer shouting to the gunman, “Come out with your hands up or you will die!” The videos were released Wednesday to ABC News, the Orlando Sentinel and the newspaper’s news partner, Fox 35. The 11 hours of video show Pulse patrons running from the club and officers shouting, “Just go!” as they direct them across the street. In another video, an officer off camera inside the club checks for the pulse of a patron only to announce the victim is dead. Later, an officer realizes that the massacre is an act of terrorism. “It’s terrorism in Orlando,” the Orlando Police officer said of the gunman. “He pledged something to the Islamic State.” Forty-nine patrons were killed during last June’s massacre and dozens more were injured in the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history. Gunman Omar Mateen was killed in a shootout with officers after a three-hour standoff. He had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group during phone calls with police negotiators. Some bodycam footage shows Pulse patrons being checked for weapons by officers after escaping the club with their hands up. Other footage shows an officer leading a patron out of a bathroom and down a hallway.

“Follow the sound of my voice. Come this way,” the officer said. One club patron was found crouched hiding in a shed and was hesitant to come out of it. “We’re police, man. Come on. Get out!” an officer said. Google+
