Police seem to be okay though.

quote:

Two officers were hit by rocks in the incident, police said. They were treated at the scene, and the extent of their injuries was not provided.

don't run from cops and you won't get shot. Pretty easy concept. It's one I've followed my whole life and I've made it this far with 0 gunshots.

Punishment did not fit the crime

We definitely need new policies regarding treatment of the mentally ill in this country. I just can't support this one, however.

From the article...

quote:

The officers attempted to use a stun gun to incapacitate Zambrano-Montes after he would not obey commands to surrender, before they opened fire and killed him, the statement said.


So what exactly do people against a shooting like this expect police to do when they've used alternatives to try to subdue the guy?

What the fricking frick. These three officers should be fired and then tried.

Throwing fricking rocks? Really? There is no previous actions that would have warranted the shooting.

Well, don't throw rocks at cops like an idiot. Seems pretty simple.

It's scary how much we've trained cops to be pussies...so afraid of dying, they're pretty much told to shoot first if there is any hint of danger, and ask questions later.

Garner v. TN. These guys gotta know their case law before hitting the streets.

I feel like people are just trying to get shot now under the most ridiculous circumstances. Martyr themselves off or something.

Why is illegal for a citizen to shoot a person running from them, but it's just fine for cops to shoot someone not threatening them by running?
