Not necessarily. Again, these are things the press are reporting. My cousin was put on trial for murder after the invasion of Panama. I am thankful that the press didn't go apeshit with it. He was acquited, by the way. The problem here is that an allegation has been made, and we don't have all the facts.
My cousin's case involved a man running toward their position, which was a defensive position. He did not appear to be armed, but did not acknowledge or obey an order to stop, in English AND Spanish ( or portugese, I don't remember). He was ordered three times, including a warning that he would be shot. He didn't and was shot and killed. Sounds pretty cut and dry, right? Well, apparently not, as he was put on trial for murder from that incident. So be careful what you read in the press about allegations.
