Unfortunately, this is the result of incompetence and lack of training of young policemen who carry guns and think that life is a movie. The main responsible for that is the head of the police and the head of the ministry of internal affairs. Have you ever wondered why u.k. policemen dont carry guns? The gun was not against a straight threat. That has been stated already. All the evidence so far show it was a murder in cold blood. The minister resigned but the resignation was not accepted. And the show will go on....
There was an identical incident in 1985 when 15 year old Michalis Kaltezas was murdered in cold blood, shot in the back by a policeman called Athanasios Melistas who was later on declared innocent (in the second degree court). And all that happened in Greece... Hellas ... the land were the idea of democracy was born....

Its a very weird event and it is early to judge. The sure is that some pigs drank or stoned found a way to show their masculinity. Not wanting to imply anything, there was a post somewhere saying that anarchists were not involved in the straight after riots in the area of the murder. Things are complicated cause misinformation is aimed by some people in greece. the struggle continues
