No, they don't. They move very slowly as they put their hands on their head and kneel to the ground.
Depends, often they don't.
Well no not "often", but you watch too many movies so I'll let that part slide. In the same sense what happens "often" is people run from the cops or pull out a gun though, so what happens "often" is representative of the most stupid section of our society.

Do yo mean as stupid as walking with insurgents who carry weapons, knowing that makes them legit targets, as well as any who associate with them? Stupid like that?

Or they should.
OIC so you expect:

A random member of the public going about their day when confronted with a guy yelling and waving a gun to react properly, recognise they're a police officer, do the right thing, follow procedure, not jump, flinch or anything.

A trained police officer to just open fire instantly and wihtout considering the situation, not pause and see if the guy has a gun, cellphone, chequebook etc?

I guess this is the difference between the wild west mentality in the US and the rest of the world.
Police/soldiers are always in the right, if civilians get hurt too fucking bad.

What happens often is people are startled having some unidentified person stick a gun in their face.
It takes a moment to realise they're Police.

That's why police identify themselves by shouting "Police".

It's like trying to prove Hitler didn't kill 6 million Jews. What a retard.
whether these men were in the wrong or not is not for us to tell. It is for a full and proper military investigation to tell. If the men followed procedure correctly but mistakes were still made then they are not in the wrong - the procedure is in the wrong.

It's nothing to be investigated anymore. It was investigated, there were weapons on site. End of discussion. But no we're on 26 pages aren't we?!

But of course Wikileaks has to come in and show this whole sad bit of morning n shit because the video then you see the ruthless American imperialists massacring innocent men, women and children!

It's just Dilbert, Ruis and Otto that should be bitch slapped.

lol wut?

damn wikileaks!

so tell me, if it was investigated and everything was OK why were the military so keen to cover it up, eh?

At least you realise that they massacred innocents as well as a couple of guys who maybe had guns, and were unproved combatants, and could have been fuckin ANYONE for all we know.

nice rage shifty, keep it up!

I'll remind everyone that this section of the forum is Debate and Serious Talk. If you can't keep a level head, then take some time before replying. Ad hominem attacks do little to further your position...

Finally a decent topic.. don't fuck it up.

Military Court of Justice. That's like saying "oh look at that criminal getting defended by a CRIMINAL DEFENCE LAWYER." Maybe US should be like china, throw defence lawyers in jail too if defendant is found guilty, since you know they're "aiding a criminal"

The video clearly shows weapons in the group a big no no. The described what they saw and got clearance to fire. 2 journalists who was clearly associating with the enemy got caught up in the fire.

Journalists obviously sympathtic to the enemy and accepted by the enemy, probably should not seek or expect protection from the country who they are fighting them

Yes he does, but in order to justify your attitude that the US is all evil, you must ignore certain facts.

I don't believe Dilbert have ever stated that he thinks the US is all evil so who is ignoring or making up facts?

Even though some of us are sceptical about alot when it comes to US policy and politics doesn't mean we hate the US and/or its citizens ...
