Here, doing his very best to misinform as usual, and making a fool of himself:
"The two cops who were shot, do you know how they arrived on the scene? They rode their bicycles. That's right. They came pedaling up. After hearing about this attack, and the cops are dispatched, the two who were shot showed up on bicycles."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the two dead policemen was a body guard of one of the employees of the French satirical publication targeted by two Muslim fanatics. He was already in the office when he was gunned down. He wasn't outside on a bicycle.
If there were two officers of the municipal police on bicycles dispatched to the scene, obviously only one of them was shot, and the other escaped.
The intricacies of the French police force obviously don't interest Rush Limbaugh, either. He would rather ridicule and caricature the French police as mindless victims of liberalism who must do their jobs without being able to defend themselves, when the fact is municipal police are typically unarmed but can choose to carry if they wish. Nevertheless the municipal police, which are basically the traffic division in France but enforce the local laws at the behest of mayors, represent barely 7% of the police force in France.
The national police are all armed, and the militarized units especially so.
