[b]I think we must be talking about different stories. In the story I am referring to the person attacked a police officer with a chain and did in fact injure him seriously. However the obscene part of the story was that when he was gunned down in the streets was no longer threateneing the officer that he had injured.He had already walked away.The arriving police officers saw the mentally ill person and the severely injured officer and in a split second decided to convict, sentence and execute this man for attacking a fellow police officer. This in a hail of bullets fired as the person was walking away from the scene.
That should not be the role of the police officer and they should be charged with negligence causing death.[/b]
Oh, well if that was the case then of course that was an execution of an unarmed person. I am unfamiliar with the case and from your original post referring to the story I got the impression the cop and the guy were locked in battle and the guy had the "upper hand".
