Then by all means, draw it out for us what you would've done in this situation when he was even resisting a taser situation?
Holy shite. Just because they are having trouble subduing the guy DOESN'T JUSTIFY KILLING HIM. He had a rock, not a gun. If the three of them can't chase him down and tackle him, they shouldn't be cops. 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.

If people can't accept personal responsibility for their actions, like trying to purposely injure officers, I don't know what to tell you.
But of course they tried to subdue the guy with a taser and it didn't work. I've seen kids jacked up on drugs or having a psychotic break take multiple adults to restrain them. So a lot of broad assumptions being made here about what one or even three cops can do.

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.
