This is what JOHN URWIN, a high level special forces guy says about the shooting:
"It's definitely fake. Ak 47
would take half his head away. Did you notice the policeman lying on the
ground still had his gun in the holster.... I haven’t looked into it
that much at the moment, only what’s in the media and this film. But as you can see in this film it’s a fake.
There’s a few things I don’t
understand. The person taking a film doesn’t appear to be shocked or
surprised. There are no sudden movements in the film when the guns are
going off. And especially when someone is supposedly getting their head
blown off. And the reason behind all of this seems to have something to
do with the French government backing the Palestinians. Saying they
should have an independent state. But then again I could be wrong."

Note: Many of the links to the video he refers to
have been removed. The New York Times video goes black during key
moments in this scene. This video [see link below] does contain all the parts of the initial street shooting as filmed. When it asks for your birth date put in ANYTHING....
