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

          .@BBCBreaking That's what police say. Please ammend your headline to reflect that you didn't have a reporter who witnessed this first hand.

          @OhDianeMarie @BBCBreaking yes Diane, cos if a reporter didn't witness it, it must be lies, right? Not like journalists ever lie do they?

          .@NorthernPoppy @BBCBreaking I misread the headline. Didn't see "police say" at the end. They should have led with that IMO.
