While well-intentioned, this is never going to happen. The last thing the Authorities want is civilians being incentivised to take the law into their own hands to win top awards. Ahmed was a very lucky man. It could have ended there and then for him. And he still ended up being shot.

Did you watch the video? He wasn't a vigilante, just a guy that took the gun of a terrorist preventing people from being killed. I don't like your comment at all. The guy is clearly a hero who puts others in front of himself.
