@Aceones

someone somewhere rightly said “kamyab bewaqoofi = bahaduri”
no matter how brave zumurrad khan acted, he had actually screwed it up big time, he fell, mad man backed off with fully loaded guns ready to shoot and he did shoot luckily no one got hit with bullet. after zumurrad screwed up it was immediate and sharp shooting by security forces which avoided crossfire and lose of many lives. if you watch the video again, you will notice that sikandar had fired straight towards zumurrad after he stood up and ran towards sikandar’s daughter, and there were people standing right there luckily no one got the bullet. and again when sikandar supposedly tried to surrender and lifted his hands and then tried to run towards his son, sharp shooters who were laying in grass behind shoot him in his legs, tightly enough not to hit the little boy and not to kill the terrorist. police was doing their job good enough, it was media who’s unprofessional attitude is exposed yet again.
but having said all that, no matter how idiotic act of zumurrad was, he still risked his life, and he took the initiative, i believe selflessly, and must be appreciated. the biggest failure of police’s in all this drama was to let Zumurrad go close to sikandar.

I agree with you. The only stupid thing police did was to allow cameramen so close to the incident, when they caught the guy, photographers were flashing their cameras right on top of him.
