And here: [link] On Saturday 6th of December at around 10pm, two Greek policemen, 37-year-old Epaminondas Korkoneas and 31-year-old Vassilis Saraliotis, were on patrol in a central street by Exarchia square, in the centre of Athens. There they had a verbal argument with a small group of young people. During the argument, one of the officers, Korkoneas, pulled his gun and twice shot a 16-year-old male, Andreas (Alexandros) Grigoropoulos. Andreas was taken to Evangelismos Hospital, and declared to be dead on arrival. According to eye-witnesses, the officer had been swearing at Andreas, and exposing his genitals, before shooting him.

even here things don't transcend that way, although sometimes worse..(case of the lebanese forces militant that ran a bulldozer over protesting women and children last year)....
i looked up the news and it says there was some distance, and that the bullet ricochet' on the kid...
i don't want to play devil's advocate but i think you're caricature is extremely negative of a pig that wanted to m$trbate his gun(because of his threatened manhood) in public shooting on the ground yet hitting a kid....
my two cents ...
Two police officers have been arrested in connection with the boy's death.
One of them, who is accused of murder, said he fired a warning shot and that the boy was killed by a ricochet, but witnesses told Greek television that the officer aimed directly at the boy.
-----
so maybe not a ricochet ... but i still think the point blank shot with the evil stare is too much ...
I can't feel sorry for him, IF that's true.

my only concern is because seeing the comic made my blood boil for a sec.. until i looked up the news.. and although living in beirut has taught me never to trust the media... it still made me wonder if the comic will provoke/cause more blood... its the only reason why i gave my two cents (or is it 6 now?
