re: Police in Wash. Shoot Man Running From them with a rock in his hands.

The guy posed no threat to their lives, but they used their firearms anyway. If you can't see what's wrong with that from a bigger picture point of view, then I don't know what to say to you.

A rock to the temple could be deadly.. not always.. but... Did they know if he had any other weapons? Did he make any lethal threats while attacking, while running. Did he ever put his hands in his pockets as if attempting to get a weapon after the attack? Was he in a deranged state? Could he have been a threat to other people in public?

I'm not saying they were justified at all.. but making definitive statements before all the facts are out are asinine.. from both sides.
