Never go to a gunfight with rocks......


and of course, as some are ignorant about, the cops didn't know if he had other weapons like a knife or gun. There are enough videos folks could search that show officers being killed at close range. Reaction time and distance and like that.

I'm not the person who turned this personal because they had no response...you are

so now if you feel looked down upon it's because you placed yourself that low when you made the "guess"

You're attaques on these fine officers is when things got personal. I'm only defending their honour since they can't do it for themselves here today.

You were the one to cast the first stone, not I Sal.

People like Sal don't understand that.

People need to own their stupidity. Don't throw rocks at Police. It's not a good idea. In any situation. There will be serious consequences.

I'll add my two bits worth in general (can't speak about this specific instance as I wasn't there) I think is incumbent upon the cops to do what ever is possible to save the life of a perpetrator no matter how deranged or evil the perpetrator is UP TO THE POINT of where public safety is jeopardized. At that point the safety of the innocent takes preference. Cops are supposed to be maintaining law and order, NOT PASSING SENTENCE.

From the video I saw, as soon as the suspect throws a rock at a officer he is trying to harm a officer of the law doing his job.
Game over.

Officer has the right to defend himself. That simple. If shooting him is the way he chooses to do that , that is up to him. I'm not going to judge him for it cause I haven walked a mile in his shoes.

In this instance, the rock thrower was jeopardizing the lives of all the motorists on the street. Any one of those drivers could have easily steered into a head-on collision or veered off into a pedestrian.

The above hypothetical represents a high probability of death to multiple individuals in terms of vehicular death. Buddy may as well as been shooting a gun randomly in a populated area.

Cops did their job in protecting the people at large from this idiot that didin't have a clue, or care, about the ramifications of his actions.... I fail to see why I should give a rat's azz about him

The UK cops all put armor shields up and surrounded the guy, taking him down..

US cops are still the Wild West mentality, shoot first ask questions later.. COWBOYS!!

(not that there is anything wrong with being a cowboy) ;)

This is small town Washington State, chances are they don't have a specialized team that can respond in a reasonable amount of time.

In the meantime, how much carnage can this pin-head create until the A-Team arrives?

You drive for a living Boomer and I'd wager (heavily) that you have seen first hand what kind of damage an out of control vehicle can do in a head-on or to a pedestrian

That is easy.
Muslim rock throwers are not United States of America Citizens. And that is why.

Christians chuck rocks at Israeli cops too.Even Orthodox Jews chuck rocks at IDF for protecting Christian pilgrims but for some reason they don't get shot.

Because they are friends. Again, easy to understand.

You are such a Racist scum with your hatred of Jews because of some past history in the Ukraine.. Ukraine is a sewer.

Get over it... the Jews are not the ones shooting up Australian Cafe's, killing Cartoonist and causing havoc around the world.

Israel is a democratic nation, in the middle of terrorist nations, trying to defend it's borders and sovereignty.. it's a war zone.

I mean how did Canada get so blessed with you anyhow, you're an anti-Semite, you hate Native Indians.. you're white trash. A Red Neck sod buster from Regina. Get a fukking life.
