this situation! Damn.

There is so much wrong with this. Cops should not patrol alone. Period. For their proper functioning and safety, and for ours.

Wonder where he shot this guy and how many times. Reportedly, yesterday something like 2000 Gaza protesters were shot in the legs by Israeli troops.
