“Friendly fire”, but I’m only assuming this right now, since the article doesn’t discuss motive / who did it. Can’t blame the shooter if it is friendly fire. I’m surprised we don’t see a lot more “friendly fire” against the American invaders, assassins, torturers and terrorists, and I mean throughout the ME.

It’s hard to think this a “friendly fire” incident. The bit doesn’t say much but given it was only Americans and it was a Police, not military training center…I guess this was deliberate. How would Donald Trump or Ben Carson prevent this. Because unless you can do that…get past the treachery and deceit…you aren’t going to do any of the rest of the crap you claim you will do. How would these “tough on terrorism” GOP’ers prevent this and what would they do now that it has happened ?

Fuck the Jordanian Police. Bring the Americans home. It’s the decent thing to do.

The shooting raises questions about Jordan’s image as an island of relative stability in a turbulent region.

Because of one mass shooing with three fatalities and 6 injured? Seeing as how that is about a weekly occurrence here in the States at this point what does that say about our “relative stability?”

Including the four who were also shot?

There was a South African who died and several Jordanians who were wounded …one critical

The shooting raises questions about Jordan’s image as an island of relative stability in a turbulent region.

Turbulent, maybe, but, given the prevalence of firearms in private hands, we know that it is a very polite region.

If you wanted stability, you should have elected McCain:

“One of the things I would do if I were President would be to sit the Shiites and the Sunnis down and say, ‘Stop the bullshit,’” said Mr. McCain
