Common sense prevails.

The correct decision?

 

[sooey]

But not the politically correct decision.

What would have constituted a PC decision?

Is it acceptable for a policeman to kill someone, who they believe presents a mortal threat to them, their colleagues, or a member of the public?

Would you find it more acceptable for them to die the same way as Ahmed Merabet?

If you join the army now and kill someone whilst in the war zone you'll more than likely be charged with murder when you arrive back home.

In Utah (USA) if you murder a policeman you'll face the firing squad. Because they are running out of lethal injections.

The eu libertards are in such a state over it they have made restrictions on the supply of chemicals to the US.

As did the IPCC.

I don't suppose that the area was awash with witnesses, so it basically came down to the shooting officer's testimony, and that of his colleagues in attendance.
