No. That's the type of asshole who should go in front of a judge.


He's 19 years old. He may be a wholly different person by the time he hits 30. Sometimes people really do change, really do reform. I am a conpletely different person to the girl i was at 19. Better that he be tried and possibly imprisoned with the possibilit of change than gunned down on the street for waving a knife - and clearly waving it rather ineffectually.

It is not, nor is it ever, the job of police to be judge, jury and executioner.
