This man was clearly executed. This is the first I have heard of this which happened a couple of months ago. I tried to embed the video, but I'm not sure how to do it.

2. when a police officer said

to me translates to be scare in a critical situation, therefore that specific officer should not be allow to be out there in the real world period.
