You can't just let the enemy run away, we're at war! What message does that send to other combatants if he's allowed to run away?

What if this combatant ran off then tipped off fellow combatants?

...but is all seriousness, we'll see the clip and be outraged, the cops will officially be let off the hook in a year and... that'll be it.

I honestly cannot bring myself to watch this stuff anymore because I feel so helpless. Men in uniform are strangling, beating and killing unarmed people right in front of our eyes and not a damn thing is ever done.

WHAT THE F*CK?
