Muslim countries are savage places...what do you expect?

Interesting list. Of the ones where we propped up dictators, how many went to hell after the dictator was deposed, and how many soared to new heights?
You also forgot Japan, Germany, Eastern Europe where we took out dictators.

In the comments, someone says that the guy was shot in the back by his 'friendlies' so they would have some footage to show.
What the frick was the guy doing anyway? Showing off his belly face painting of Mubarek?

i wouldn't trust random comments with no backing evidence.
As to what the guy was doing, well, probably complying with orders? Probably the same stuff I see on COPS. "get down, walk towards me, palms up, hands behind your back, turn around, walk backwards, hands behind your head, get on your knees, etc, etc, etc." Pick one.

Yeah the countries you listed we ran, we didn't put in a Shah. So they're not comparable. Instead Americans ran those countries, Americans such as General Douglas MacArthur, who pretty much remade the Japanese culture such as giving women rights and so on.

Are you shitting me? You're just trying to get a rise out of me. It's obvious you're not familiar with the french dick known as buffon.
The man made claims that Americans climate caused plants & animals to degenerate including people, and the the superior conditions in filthy Europe cause bountiful fields and such.
Keep in mind that Buffon was truly a little prick, while Thomas Jefferson was over 6", an extremely large man for his time.
It took sending a moose to cause Buffon to retract his claims, however he died before he was able to complete his retraction and it's one of the main reason's until recent history that many Europeans believe Americans to be inferior because they learned of America from Buffon's writings.

I had no clue who Buffon was until your post. Perhaps he is the origin of the word Buffoon.
However, reading your initial reference to him, I imagined that he meant Europeans of the year 1700 had superior technology to the native Americans, superior literature (i.e., Europeans had a written language), superior construction (palaces vs. teepees), superior weapons (firearms vs. spears and bows), superior music (grand operas, etc. vs. primitive drum music).
How Europeans got that far while throwing their own poop out the window into the street is by itself a fascinating question.

Your chances of being captured and killed go up dramatically when you stop your vehicle in an unsecured area.
Getting the hell out of dodge should be priority one.

I used to have to weekly drive into the townships is RSA pre-Mandela era and depending on what the mood was in the township if they were pissed about something (unknown to you) they would set up ambushes to stone and mob your vehicle and if they could pull you out you were gonna get stoned or tied up with a tire placed around you filled with diesel (burns slow). I carried a 12g pump with SSG rounds everytime I went in there. Mob violence lacks sanity and indecisive action will quickly get you killed.
I somehow doubt that limo was out driving around with the intention of running over protesters. The driver was decisive and acted appropriately. IMHO.
Prayers for the dead and injured.

Pure speculation on your part. Just like you don't trust random comments with no backing evidence we don't ASSume the guy was innocent and that the officials in that grainy-fuzzy video are guilty. Hell I thought he might have a bomb strapped to his chest the first time I saw it. Am I right? I don’t know but I’m not willing to say one way or the other.
Stop pretending that all those poor Egyptians are innocent and being treated unfairly by the police over there. It’s Egypt, its collapsing and crazy shit happens.
Have you ever been out of this country?
