Is that a common thing in Russia? Hasn't the shooter was suspended for that? He can't get away with it, if the man who he's shot was unarmed. I'll tell you a secret. Even in Russia there are maniacs among police. A few years ago (in 2009), one crazy police officer has killed 2 and injured 7 citizens. This story has an unbelievable resonance in my country (
its even on Wikipedia now) because it's extremely rare when a policeman kills civilians. Now this bastard serves
a life time in a prison. This is how it works in Russia. I can bring you a lot of youtube videos of the US police killing American citizens, but you will barely digg a couple of such videos for Russia. And please don't tell me that's because Russians do not have as many mobile phones with cameras or dashcams as Americans do.
