Up to a point...I mean, I see what you're getting at. As I recall, the officer had already been shot once, and was on the ground wrestling with both of the perpetrators. The article, I don't believe, made that very clear. Given his situation, I will personally support his actions. Were I in his position...I probably would've done the same. I don't see it as an "execution", so much as self preservation, at that point
