Although aside from some of the promoted sites and the time stamp it does look authentic.

It's not the real BBC website pal, and if I noticed correctly the edit time did say 9:11... Tasteless to be honest.
I don't think he was executed how it was portrayed though...
No flinch or jerk of the head from an AK round at point blank...
Not possible...
But he had been shot a few times prior to the failed execution shot, there is no doubting the man passed away imo!
I don't have any problem believing that was a headshot. A 7.62 FMJ round, likely what was used, would only make a small entry and exit hole as they are meant to pass through objects and remain somewhat lethal to what is behind...they don't typically fragment and hardly expand at all. They do not cause cavitation as hollow point rounds are made to do in order to destroy surrounding tissue.
A close range headshot would have passed through very quickly and would not have caused any jerky motions since it would have shut the nervous system down immediately....hence no twitch or jerk from the officer when shot.
Only the teflon coated military grade, not for civies, pass through clean.
I can tell you from personal experience regular rounds cause cavitation, I have seen the giant exit holes in hogs I shot with them.
I don't want to drift the thread, but the authenticity of the site has been established.
Point blank without a drop... No, not for me thanks...
You're right to dodge Tracebook as well, way to biased & vastly uninformed bunch of people really...
I have a feeling it's similiar to the fake NSA (?) Website that looks just like a .gov with hardly noticeable discrepancies...
The site was registered two weeks ago, which is pretty creepy. And it had been scraping large sections of the BBC -- a reverse search through Google shows a lot of scraping having happened prior to the attacks, since all of the dates I see on stories are Jan 4 or earlier. That's even creepier. I'm not going to post the name of the guy who registered this, but you can do a simple WHOIS lookup on that domain to find out who. It is a fairly common name, but it does show up from time to time in recent news comment sections, in apparent support of Daesh.
Damn....how did I get to all this so early on in the day

The man whose amateur video of a Paris police officer’s cold-blooded murder shocked the world now regrets sharing the footage online, saying he never expected it to be broadcast so widely.
Engineer Jordi Mir told The Associated Press he posted the video out of fear and a ‘stupid reflex’ fostered by years on social media.
‘I was completely panicked,’ he said in an exclusive interview across from the Parisian boulevard where the officer was shot to death by terrorists Wednesday morning.
Now would a body with the brain stem snapped/shattered/insert word roll gently, or slump?
