Dude he wasn't begging for mercy, he may have been time and again latching to grab one of the weapons, he was a criminal caught with a weapon that can be seen and accepted by him in complete video. The tv channel and the people behind the edited video which agitated people's sentiment must also be taken care of. Definitely Rangers guys should be punished but not for the crime as established by edited video. The court must examin complete video and decide whatever is just. Otherwise everyday an AH like Sikander would stand on the road and no police or rangers guy would fire a sniper round instead would ask for a written order which pinches at the highest level.
Unfortunately LEAs don't have means and permissions to express their point of view. Surely Surfraz despite being a criminal, caught red handed with a weapon never deserved the treatment which he got but at the same time fair chance must be given to Rangers guys to defend themselves. The case is the courts and decision will be given on merit and they will get punishment for what they deserve. The case was blow out of proportion cause the brother of deceased was employee of that TV channel secondly there was political element too on the wishes of more than one party in the city.
What I have gathered from your post so far:
1) Sarfaraz was caught red handed, robbing people at gun point, with a weapon.
2) Sarfaraz repeatedly attampted to grab the gun from the Rangers Personnel.
3) Media broadcasted only edited video and the complete video was never broadcasted.
4) The ATC handed capital punishment to atleast 1 of the Rangers Personnel, however they had watched only the edited video and had handed out
capital sentencing based on engineered evidence.
5) There were political forces involved in all of the above.
* SIGH *
1) Sarfaraz was allegedly caught, with a toy gun!!
2) Sarfaraz was almost dragged by the scruff of his neck to the rangers personnel and that too by a lone plain clothed policeman, he was unable to defend himself against 1 plain clothed person but attempted repeatedly to grab the gun from the Rangers Personnel. So let this be a moment of realization for you, Sarfaraz made not a single attempt to grab the gun off the Rangers Person, he merely attempted to divert the aimed nozzle away from his face and then away from his body!!
3) Complete video of the whole episode was aired almost daily when the news was hot and again when the sentencing was announced.
4) It is very stupid to assume that the courts did not have access to the actual video, the unedited version. Perhaps you believe that the ATC judge had to go through the advertisement sponsored news, just to let you know, the ATC received the video from the source, unedited! The sentencing was carried out after review of the actual footage as well as testimonies of witnesses!
5) We expect political influence to ensure justice is served, especially when the DG Rangers was in full action to protect his death squad!
