I could swear this is famous footage of vietnam or korean war era journalistic video of an asian officer shooting an asian man who had his hands tied behind his back, in the side of the head, but I can't find it online.

The link that has the photo you are probably referring to is below in the source.

"Adams' picture of the imposing, militarily-clad General Loan shooting a young, smallish Vietnamese suspect in the head is undoubtedly one of the most disturbing photographs of the period. The suspected Viet Cong soldier is dressed in a plaid shirt, in contrast to General Loan, and has his arms tied behind his back. In effect, he gives the appearance of a defenseless young boy, and, although this description is probably far from the truth, the power of the photograph comes from the boys somewhat pitiful appearance, offset by the authoritarian stature of Loan. It is not surprising that this photograph dominated the American media for weeks, and even months after it was taken, as it became a symbol for everything that was going wrong in the Vietnam War. The photo personified for many the idea that the South Vietnamese, the very people that Americans were sacrificing their lives for, were not the helpless victims of a communist onslaught that the government would have had them believe, rather, they were a people just as capable as the North Vietnamese of all types of brutality."

Do a Yahoo search under Viet Cong shooting, and it has the picture. It's the South Vietnam director of national police force executing a suspected Cong prisoner on the streets of Saigon on February 1, 1968.
