        @pervlens @tom_peters1 @BBCBreaking shot, maybe. Executed? Shows a lack of skill or training on part of policemen.

        @mrbananaman69 I couldn't agree more. The moment we label, we make life difficult for the police. It's not about race or skin colour

        @NicholeBlack @BBCBreaking So police officers jobs are to protect suspected armed gunmen who have guns, and refuse orders?

        @lamboftrain @BBCBreaking So killing without due process is the preferred method of protect and serve? Police need to disarm - not kill.
