title: How to stop running Container, if error response from daemon is: Cannot Kill Container [...] permission denied?
body: <p><strong>Tough task:</strong> 
  Everytime I try to stop or kill a running container, I get permission denied as an error response from Daemon.</p>
  
  <p>I just started learning how to use docker by using a Ubuntu18.04 VM. I was running a container for the first time. I was not able to stop it but at least it was running. Now, after I tried to run another image "furtuas/daisitory:image_available_first_ms", everything got worse. 
  Two containers are running, I can't stop non of them. 
  I tried to restart docker but the containers are still running with the difference that localhost is not working anymore. 
  Maybe it happened bc I ran on the same host like the one before</p>
  
  <p>I am not familiar with docker, ubuntu, terminal etc. I would appreciate detailed answers for beginners</p>
