Saturday Night at 8:15pm a Driver of a White Chevrolet Malibu with an ISIS flag taped in the back window drove high speed into a Policeman that had been standing in between two barricades for the Edmonton Eskimos Football game. After the Malibu took the police officer 15 feet in the air landing him face first on the pavement he got out of the car and started to stab the officer several times and then fled by foot. A couple minutes later at the car gate they recognized the same driver with a friend this time. As his cover is blown the U-Haul truck flies past the game and starts to head towards downtown Edmonton. With several cops behind them they try and swerve and hit as many pedestrians as possible. After a 10 minute chase the car finally flipped ending the gruesome case. All suspects are not in critical condition and a news conference will be held at 3pm on Sunday.
QUESTIONS
1.) How would you feel if you were the Policeman that got targeted for no reason at all.
2.) How would you react if something like this happened in your community.
Q1.) If i was the police man i would feel sick just thinking about someone who would something like that. But, I would also be grateful that it was me and not one of my other colleges because they should ever have to go through something like that.
Q2.) Honestly I would be heart broken. Because if this happened in Harlan its so small of a community you would probably know someone of the Suspects. But, In Edmonton its so big that people would still grieve but its a big enough City that not everyone would know everyone.

Good summary but you didn't reply to any student comments(-20).
I would feel that the man responsible would need to be tied up and video to show that ISIS members will be caught and they will be brought to justice. I would want ISIS to be completely destroyed if this happen in mine community.
1. I'd at first be completely shocked and angry, for probably a long time. I would try to do good for my community and if that was how I got repaid I'd be pretty bitter about it. Later I'd be a little more humble and be thankful I wasn't killed and that nobody else was hurt.
2. If this happened, I'd be a little scared to drive and even be in parking lots since I knew that there was some crazy driver ramming into people in my hometown. This is a small enough community that I'd at least know someone is somehow related with the driver.
I wouldn't know what to think if someone just targeted me for no logical reason. I would be thankful that it was me and no pedestrians, because as a policeman you want to keep your community safe. If this happened to my community I would be very hurt, more than likely the injured would be a familiar name.
If I were the police I would be very upset because I would just be there trying to protect others while these people come and mess things up. I would also be thankful it was me and not others because I would never want my co-workers to get hurt, but I myself don't want to get hurt. If this happened in my community I would be very upset and sad. Harlan is such a small town where everyone know everyone so the odds of it being someone you know is very high. I think Harlan as a community would come together to help the injured.
1) I would be scared and wondering why me? what have I done? Also, I might lose sleep thinking well maybe there are more people after me. I mean I would be scared to death and almost have a sick feeling all the time
2) If this happened in our community it would be a tragedy, but there is one good thing. Our community would come together like we always do and overcome it and get stronger from it. I would say our community is on of the best communities.
I would terrified since I didn't know what was all going on. The next days on work, I would be scared since you never know what could happen. I would be scared for my family, friends, and for the place I work since I know people are against the police officers.
I would be mad because it caused an accident that didn't have a meaning. It would make me mad and I would probably rasie money for the innocent people involved because the accident shouldn't have happened at all.
I would be scared for myself, my family, and all of my friends. I would be worried that they'd target them next. Well it would be a tragedy of course and it would be terrible for our town. It would be a horrific event.
I get what your saying about not comforting them that is a wonderful idea that people may just need time to them selves to just understand within them selves what happened and for what reason
