Australian police shoot dead 'radicalized' teen ( www.dw.com )

The boy attack stabbed another man in an incident police said had the "hallmarks" of terrorism but was yet to be declared a terrorist act.

Western Australia police shot dead a "radicalized" 16-year-old boy on Saturday night after he stabbed a man in Perth. 

State Premier Roger Cook said the teenager attacked a man and then "rushed" at police officers, armed with a kitchen knife. 

The police responded by shooting him twice with Tasers before firing a single fatal shot.

Because the cops got a tip from a Muslim about a teen who at one point used the internet?

Uhh...?

Nah, I think it was the part where he stabbed a dude and then rushed at the cops afterwards.

A stabbing is a stabbing. It's not terrorism, and the article provided no evidence of any "radicalization".

Media literacy?

But was he brown? Then he was 100% terrorism. Else mental disorder.
