HK finest shoots homeless man on remote hillside threatening the fauna

In an suprising event, HK's finest shoots and actually hits his intended target. Unfortunately it was an ill thought out and shocking target. "In danger of his life" from a chair wielding homeless man, HK's Rambo shoots the homeless guy in the head after exhausting "all possibilities". Possibilities that didn't include him warning in English in addition to Cantonese or moving away to a safe distance before reinforcements arrive. Maybe HK's finest should spend more time on the streets confronting citizens and checking IDs and save lives by keeping them away from these situations.

Hopefully HK's finest Rambo is as successful with his aim when he turns the weapon around.

Suspect dies after officer's shot to head Clifford Lo and Phyllis Tsang A suspected illegal immigrant who attacked a police officer with a wooden chair died in hospital last night after the constable shot him in the head at close range. The officer shot at the middle-aged South Asian man twice after using up his pepper spray, dropping his baton and falling to the ground during the attack on a hillside in Ho Man Tin, police said. The first shot missed but the second hit the man in the head. He was taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital, where he died at 6.34pm. The police officer, attached to the patrol sub-unit of Hung Hom police station, suffered injuries to his arms and back. He was discharged from hospital after treatment. Preliminary investigations had showed the constable was justified in shooting because his life was in danger and he had exhausted all other possibilities, police said."
