From the article...
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?

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.

My question as an LEO supervisor, were there Extended Range Impact Weapons (40mm, beanbag, etc) available? Pepperball?
Taser is really ineffective from far enough to be out of a rock's effective range?
Basically, had they officer's exhausted all less-lethal options prior to deadly force?
OTOH, judging an officer's actions from a videophone recording that may well have been edited to cut out the preceding events is unfair.

They shot a guy with a rock in his hand.

I don't know, not kill him. Maybe let him go and catch him another time.
Opening fire in city streets is probably far more dangerous than anything he would do with his rocks

Once upon a time in a history not too far away... 3 cops would have been able to tackle, subdue, and handcuff a man. Ive only seen it about one million times on the show Cops.

If 3 guys can't subdue a guy throwing rocks, perhaps they shouldn't be cops. Hopefully they no longer will be cops.
