It sounds like people are misunderstanding the police response. From what I can gather, the local (unarmed) police arrived sooner than 20 minutes, but didn't want to engage two men with knives. The armed response arrived 20 minutes after the event, by which time I assume the unarmed police had cleared the immediate area.
As for why there isn't footage of the armed police arriving, I assume there actually is but that hasn't really made the news given the news friendly bloody hands ranting nonsense we've seen in the OP. Judging by twitter, there were plenty of witnesses on the street and in the nearby office buildings, so I am quite sure this went down as described.
Also, it's kind of hard to think of a decent reason for this to be staged.

I don't know about all this "it was fake" business but I know that GOV fits into the definition very nicely too, just for your information... How do you feel about that?
Systematic use of violence to create a general climate of fear in a population and thereby to bring about a particular political objective. It has been used throughout history by political organizations of both the left and the right, by nationalist and ethnic groups, and by revolutionaries. Although usually thought of as a means of destabilizing or overthrowing existing political institutions, terror also has been employed by governments against their own people to suppress dissent; examples include the reigns of certain Roman emperors, the French Revolution (see Reign of Terror)

Why does everyone call the weapons a machete? It is a chef knife and a meat cleaver. I mean I think meat cleaver sounds more brutal then machete, surprised MSM isn't using that instead.

You make some real good points and solid ones too. You're also not coming to this with any glee or apparent sense of discovery and challenge like some seem to take it and those are the folks..generally speaking...I wonder about the mental health of.
In terms of the weird behavior? I've not gone looking to find if they have a video, start to finish of the actual take down and start of the attack. If they do, I don't want to see it. I DID watch the beheadings...start to finish...of several of our men in '03 and '04 by Al Qaeda in Iraq as well as one in Pakistan. At the time, it wasn't being ghoulish but planning to drive the supply convoys in Iraq and wanting to see, personally, what I was volunteering for. My wife walking in to see part of one is probably why I never ended up going to. She never was quite the same.....not on that topic, to be sure.
What stood out and why I mention it? The WORST thing about the act of cutting someone's head off while they're wide awake and very much alive to know and understand events? Is the sounds. The screaming in half begs, half horror of understanding..of what is about to happen and the fact there isn't a damn thing they can do to stop it. Nothing. Just endure the last terrible moments of their life ...and even death won't come with mercy.
That's some of what I carry by having seen what I chose to watch at the time. That's what I'm guessing a good many of those normal people saw and heard on the street. I'm guessing here, but I think it's a reasonable one to say most of the people who saw some or all of it, are in profound psychological shock. "Did that REALLY just happen?!" That sort of thing...and praying it didn't really...or that the sounds will stop echoing in their minds.
It's a horrible horrible thing...what happened here. That's why I reacted the way I did and still am to those who look for even more gore and even more blood to examine and pick apart. The execution videos are still around the net for those who just have to see what death this way looks like. Al Qaeda made sure every bit was recorded....and after seeing them? I'm betting the majority of the ghouls will never want to see another, ever again.edit on 23-5-2013 by Wrabbit2000 because: (no reason given)

I'd like to know why a woman feels no apprehension whatsoever about walking past a psycho who just cut off someones head ? and why NONE of the people around her tried to stop her ?
Also, why would ANYONE get close to a 'murderer' ? one guy hangs around to interview him, 'WTF' ! would YOU ?
Why were all the others just hanging around while two killers who just BEHEADED someone are still on the loose just a few short yards away. If this were real you'd think they would all have run for dear life. Right ? I'm sure i would have.
There are other women who are mingling quite calmly with them. One even sits next to the supposedly headless corpse. Ordinary behaviour anyone ?
Something is wrong about all this. It just doesn't sit right with me at all.
