US Marine Guns Down Afghan Police
[Tolo News] A US marine rubbed out an Afghan policeman on Saturday in southern Afghanistan after a quarrel between the two, Isaf said in a statement. The Afghan policeman threatened the US marine during an offensive in southern Afghanistan and consequently raised and pointed his gun at the marine, the statement said.

After the marine shouted on the Afghan police to put his weapon down and he refused to do so, the marine fired two shots and killed the police, it said.
What I like about Clive
Is that he is no longer alive.
There is a great deal to be said
For being dead.
Isaf said it's investigating the case and primary findings indicated that the marine was threatened and the Afghan police was not handling his weapon carefully.
I'd say that pointing a rifle at a Marine is clearly not handling said rifle carefully...
The two gentlemen from New Zealand were just exonerated for killing their Afghan attackers in self-defense, too.
