Shooting a man in the back is bad form.
He shoulda stood him up, turned him around, and shot him in the face.

Dozens of demonstrators gathered in downtown Oakland to protest the release of Johannes Mehserle, 27, charged with killing an unarmed man on New Year's Day.
The former Bay Area Rapid Transit police officer's release funds came from unknown sources, Alameda officials told CNN.
Video taken by a bystander showed Mehserle pulling his gun and fatally shooting Oscar Grant III, 22, in the back as another officer kneeled on Grant.
Mehserle may have intended to draw and fire his Taser instead of his gun, according to a court filing by his attorney.
In January, protests turned violent after a judge decided to allow bail for Mehserle's release.
A preliminary hearing in the case is set for March 23, authorities said.

He should never have been given a gun. Like all who do wrong he owes society something or at least the victims family some dinero. He could do the honorable Japanese thing and save society the court costs.
even if he had just had a punch up, was abusing the coppers etc etc, the poor fukker had his hands cuffed behind his back with 2 coppers kneeling on him when he was face down.
You'd have to be a twat to say he deserved it. RIP
As i understand it the bail is usually from a bail bond company and not from an individual , something is put up a house or two maybe and will be taken if the person does not show in court. So the cops pay does not come in to it.
I know how bail works, but $3m? Thats a lot of assets for someone to put up.
