Report: Officers who shot dead Jaffa stabber probed for unlawful killing
3/12/16

A YouTube video depicting the immediate aftermath of the stabbing shows the assailant wounded and writhing in pain on the ground as armed officers and passersby look on.

Justice Ministry officials are reportedly investigating police officers who may have unlawfully killed a Palestinian assailant who went on the stabbing spree that claimed the life of an American tourist in Jaffa and wounded 12 others on Tuesday.

As was first reported over the weekend in the liberal daily Haaretz and The Intercept, the ministry’s police investigations unit is examining evidence to determine whether the officers acted within the bounds of the law.

A YouTube video depicting the immediate aftermath of the stabbing shows the assailant wounded and writhing in pain on the ground as armed officers and passersby look on.



In the clip, the officers are goaded by unidentified bystanders to “shoot him in the head” as the terrorist lay on the ground, slightly moving back and forth.

In the ensuing seconds, a gunshot can be heard, to the approval of the passerby. After the gunshot, the assailant appears to be no longer moving.

The conversation heard in the video clearly shows that the officers at the scene did not deem the assailant a risk. One person is overheard saying, "Yossi, enough — he is lying there neutralized, why are you shooting for no reason?”

The assailant, Bashar Massalha, 22, from the village of Auja, went on the knifing spree just days after returning from a trip to Mecca.

Taylor Force, a grad student from Vanderbilt University who was in Israel on a school trip, was the lone fatality in the attack.

This has to be coming from Bibi.
More proof he's another version of Peres and Livni.
Who the hell investigates a Hero officer who shot dead an Arab terrorist who murdered an American and was trying to kill as many Jews as possible.
This is the same reason why Likud and Labor wanted Kahane out of the Knesset in 88.
They dont want Jews who want to defeat Arab terrorists.

Sometimes the muslamic terrorists feign their deaths and attack whenever they get the opportunity.

Good point, sometimes they also blow themselves up, with nails and bolts as shrapnel.

If this cop is charged with anything, it's putting down a rabid dog that just killed an American tourist.

The officer under question shall not be charged at all and if the procedures require it then he should be ultimately acquitted.
