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.

I don't expect the Police to kill someone who is running away, they have to chase after them and arrest them. That's in their job training, amirite?

Thanks for the reasonable response that doesn't just jump to the conclusion that the guy threw a rock and got shot without anything inbetween.
