And you think it's OK for 6'4" 292 pound black "children" to rob liquor stores and punch police in the face.
Nope, I just don't think we need cops handing out street justice for it.
You seem a little detatched from reality Joe. Any rampaging thug who robs stores and assaults police is going to be put down by any means necessary. That doesn't always mean lethal force, but should an officer choose to use lethal force it is within his rights.
Guy, this wasn't John Dillenger on a rampage. It was a shoplifter. and, no, police should be VERY careful when they use lethal force.
If he didn't have a gun, and he wasn't in direct physical contact at the time, there was no reason to use lethal force.
