EFAP (Every Frame A Pause) did an excellent job at breaking down why this show is awful. This is an edited-down version of that livestream.

There was no other choice. This terrorist, is a SUPER SOLDIER. They do not have HANDCUFFS strong enough to hold him, and even if they did, they would need WAY more restraints than that. They are in a country where they do NOT have authority (Which is the ACTUAL worst thing Walker did, but both Bucky and Sam did that too so it's not a knock against him, it's just dumb writing) and they do NOT have the resources to apprehend ANYONE. If hypothetically they COULD restrain this guy, their only option would be to kidnap him, and then TORTURE him until he spills where the flag smashers are based.
But MOMENTS before this guy picked up a HEAVY stone object and threw it like it was a toy. Surrender is not an option. We've already seen what these guys can do, ONE PUNCH and you're DEAD instantly. This guy shouting he's surrendering is NOTHING but a manipulation tactic, if Walker had gone "Oh he surrendered. I guess I can't kill him now. I've got no way to restrain him, so I'll just leave him here and, honor system? Yeah, honor system."
If he so much as turns around this guy can deliver a super soldier punch to the spine, kill Walker instantly and just run away. Sam and Bucky weren't able to catch ANY of the flag smashers, so they're not nabbing this guy. Even if they DID catch up to him, again, THEY CANNOT RESTRAIN THESE PEOPLE! Like TEN guys in an ELEVATOR weren't able to hold down Captain America!!! Bucky is pretty strong, but he's still just one guy, and they're not exactly in a secure location. What's Bucky gonna do? Just keep him in a full nelson as they transport him MILES away? Again, if he gets ONE ARM free he has a kill opportunity on EVERYONE within his reach.
This man is too dangerous to be allowed to walk away, he has demonstrated he is ACTIVELY trying to kill people, he cannot be restrained, and he has JUST murdered an American Soldier, taking him out is not just the smart move, it's the ONLY correct move. If IRON MAN was around and was there to help it'd be a different story, but he wasn't.
Oh wait, let's talk about that too! What did Iron Man do with the last terrorist HE fought?
He was hiding, I believe, yeah? Yes he was. Iron Man then pulls him through a wall, and what does he do with the now defenseless, unarmed man who is no longer a threat to anyone? Someone who would MOST CERTAINLY surrender, and can be restrained with ordinary handcuffs? What does he do with the man who could be interrogated and expose who knows how many secrets of the ten rings? Does he, restrain him and fly him over to local authorities? Does he call in the US military? Does he set up a makeshift cell while the local government moves in?
Nah. He throws him into the middle of a crowd of people, and flies off while saying clearly "He's all yours".
Iron Man leaves a defenseless, entirely disarmed normal human man to be beaten to death by an angry mob, and nobody is attacking him for it. Which is the CORRECT response, but Walker ALSO made the right decision here, but he's attacked. Why?
Cause he was RECORDED doing it. So these people are advocating that it's OK to execute surrendering people, so long as nobody sees you do it. This is their morality.
