Shooting an unarmed policeman begging for mercy is NOT an act of bravery ! This is cowardice!

This pic is so devastating.
I forget that even cops seldom carry guns over there.

the officer in the picture was 1) out gunned and 2) injured. That is why he surrendered.

Hell, I'd venture that, in most cases, shooting anyone is not an act of bravery. Pointing a gun at someone is often an act of fear in itself.

they'll cough these two goons up in record time. Otherwise, the retribution is going to be severe and retribution that is severe only produces more murderous idiots like these two.

Fucking cowards.
