Yup, makes no sense... he ran away leaving his ID papers in the truck ? Not a spur of the moment terror plan

Why would he leave his ID docs in the cab? Smells fishy.
In February 2016, the security agencies ordered officers to conduct a check on Amri, "insofar as police law permits." In the letter, they placed the man "within the Islamist spectrum," and noted he had "suspected ties with IS (Islamic State)." The memorandum was created because Amri had begun hanging out in radical Islamist circles starting in 2015. He had first come to the attention of the authorities in the course of an investigation into Hildesheim-based hate preacher Abu Walaa. He had popped up in circles surrounding radical preachers Hasan C. in the city of Duisburg and Boban S. in Dortmund. For a time, it is even believed that he had a key to S.'s apartment.
Security services are under significant criticism for losing track of a known criminal and Islamist. The Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) lists 549 people in Germany as threats from the Islamist scene. That may seem low, however round-the-clock surveillance is difficult: Every person requires between 25 and 40 security personnel. "You can't do that on just any kind of suspicion," Kahl said. "There has to be compelling evidence."
It becomes even more complicated at the EU level. Relevant information is often overlooked or lost. Surveillance requires a high legal standard. Intelligence services are overseen by a parliamentary committee...
You will love it! The best airport. Make sure to visit DDR Museum, Zwinger gallery and Karl May villa in Radebeul (close to Dresden). Also trip to Meissen to a porcelain factory would be worthy of your time. While shopping there get any knife made in Solingen and well made German tools (they last ages). If you have time and car you can drive to Prague for a two day trip. There is a new highway between Dresden and Prague.

Sounds like he was packing a 22.
The suspect spent four years in an Italian prison for an arson attack on a school. How did German authorities not know this?
It's clear law enforcement information systems across Europe do not line up with one another. I can't say, however, why German authorities had no knowledge of Anis Amri's time in Italy.
To clean up this mess may not be possible anymore.
Agreed, due to the fatal mix of inability and unwillingness.
Europe is different than us. Europe was fighting nomads for centuries. You can't suddenly open borders and pretend to be America.
A .22 round in the arm for a lifetime of free German beer. Not a bad deal.
This is not the policeman who shot him. This policeman was shot. Juergen should update us if the money will ever leave the German bank.
That's a lesson on the effectiveness of the 22.
So he was actually being deported but they were waiting on paperwork from Tunisia. Smart. "Hey, suspected terrorist, we're deporting you . . . In a few months. Enjoy the rest of your stay in the Land of the Infidel."
Juergen: "How much is a small cottage in New Hamphire?"

Nice boys turned themselves in...
The European Union adopted mandatory automatic braking systems on all new trucks in 2012. The Berlin terror attack stopped after just 70 meters.
An investigation by newspaper "Süddeutsche Zeitung" and broadcasters "NDR" and "WDR" found the Scania R 450 semi-trailer stopped after between 70 and 80 meters (250 feet). The system was reportedly engaged after sensing a collision.
Previous reports speculated that the truck had driven erratically and stopped due to the heroic actions of the truck's Polish driver, who lay fatally wounded in the cabin.
