I heard about yesterday on the radio and couldn't bear to follow it up.

It's just awful, he must have been absolutely terrified Sad

The police officer turned off his body cam (allegedly by accident Hmm) but a passerby caught it on camera.

The whole thing reads like some sort of execution

It does indeed. I thought the same.

From the BBC story it says the video of the execution was filmed by this poor man's passenger, not a passerby. I would have been terrified if I was the passenger that the police would kill me too.

Error on my part. Yes I agree, they must be completely traumatised 😔
