I keep looking at the Amedy Coulibaly killing (the Youtube video) and keep asking myself if it was an execution? I am fairly convinced it was.
In the below clip, which I've posted before, the case is made that his hands were handcuffed. Is that a true and accurate statement? Well, whether or not traditional police handcuffs were used I think it apparent that his hands were cuffed/restrained in some manner - and for me, the evidence for this is the way he turns as he flees to the main door to ensure that his back takes the brunt of the blow against the doorjamb. The turn was instinctive and the reason for that was that his hands were restrained and therefore turning and taking the force of the impending collision on his back would've minimized any damage - and because it was an instinctive reaction there was no thought of police bullets being fired at him by the score.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
