Things like what i am going to tell are happening more and more in Greece. Look:
There were 3 escapees from jail. They had hideout somewhere in Athens. The police was looking for them for 10 days when they finally found them. The building had only one floor. They also knew that the escapees had weapons with them!!!
2 days after they found it in broad daylight and increasing the danger of getting a passer-by in trouble, they just attacked to them. They assaulted the building without even stating that they were police. They just started firing at the escapees. They were going to kill them legally!
They started returning fire to the policemen. One of the escapees WAS SCARED TO DEATH, so he aimed at 3 empty spots in the road and threw 3 grenade panicking everyone. One pedestrian started running for shelter. One of the policemen saw him running and thought he was one of the escapees. Without even trying to say him: "freeze police" or just try to stun him he fired EIGHT (yes eight) bullets at him totally killing him! That's what happens here in Greece by policemen.
A fight like that is stressfull, its hard to think other then what your instincts tell you. The cop acted on instinct, he was under intence fire, so he shot what he thought was a threat. But on the other hand, he killed a civilian. It sounds like an hounest mistake, I believe there should be charges, but not charges as big as full out murder.
Yeah but under what conditions did it happened! This was the most important thing but they: (1)were going there just to kill the escapees. (2)without even saying something like :freeze police or just try to stop him by firing in the air! (3)they assaulted in broad daylight. They could have at least did it at night. (4) Even if the guy was one of the escapees, the cop was trying to kill him! He may have fired at him once or twice and then capture him. (5) The escapees got captured actually and they state that they suddenly where in the middle of a planned assault without even knowing that it was police that which was firing at them. Who knows what the escapees might have done to an other illegal guy who may have been trying to kill them.
True, but they were probably as stunned as hell... " Ok cops, we are going to arrest heavly armed dangerouse criminals who have granades and (Inseart gun hear)... Good luck! And Im guessing the cops were armed with standard cop gear, not exactly on par with what the excapes had. They were stunned, its human nature. As I said I think they should be punished but not with all out murder charges...

If the criminals have war weapons (granade) and the cop are not top of the line SWAT, the should have called the army. Moreover, they wanted to kill them, and that is soldier job...
Actually, a link couldn't prove it either. You can't just believe anything on the internet, you know. But I can't blame the cop. He was just going with his instincts.
[It is not on the internet. Come on i saw it on the news. I am in Athens. That's where i live. Also half of the city is talking about this.]
And even if this was instinct, this is his job. To resist the instincts. Of course i am not totally blaming him either but he still could have done something.
I know that the Greeks don't particularly think well of their own government. It seems like there is a monthly riot in Athens. Not to mention that Greece may default on the euro and go bankrupt.
Well, I checked several random Greek news websites, and not one site mentioned this story. Please provide some sort of article or link to prove this happened. Otherwise, we should assume it's false.
Yeah it happened some days ago. That's why it is not there but i have no reason to lie you. I am not trying to get the attention.
As for you deserteagle, there are riots really. What the government does is sometimes extremely awful. So you don't want to come and live here. I tell this because i have been to London and i know the big difference.
Well anyway, i agree with Wexmayjor. Cops should never do soldier Job.
