People gloss over how deadly blunt or edged weapons can be. However, (GIVEN THE LIMITED VIDEO PROVIDED!) this subject did not seem to pose too much of a danger with the way he threw the first rock. If that had been Roger Clemens chucking a rock at me from that close distance? Damn skippy he's getting shot.

As to the availability of Extended Range Impact Weapons due to the size of the department; oftentimes, smaller agencies can equip themselves easier than large ones due to federal grants.

Yup and the jury is going to eat up testimony by this mother on the scene....

quote:

“I really thought they were just going to walk up and tackle or tase him” Patrick said. “But they opened fire. His back was turned.”

Patrick’s wife, Shannon Patrick, also said that she witnessed the shooting and that the man was running away when he was shot in front of her young children and dozens of other witnesses.
