Ian Birked - When a police officer needlessly kills a citizen in a bizarrre, cowardly manner e.g. Seattle's Officer Ian Burk killed a native carver, John T. Williams who was carrying' a legal 3 inch knife and wood block. Birk, after warning the deaf and inebriated Williams 4 times in 4 seconds, shot Williams 4 times and killed him.
