Have you ever had a fire extinguisher hurled at you?! check one out next time. Just a kid protesting eh? I probably would have shot him too. That was no peacful jesture, it was an assault, an attack,

Cops have families and they'd like to see them the next day do. They don't need thier skulls caved in or their necks dislocated. Their job sets them up with the duty to uphold alaw and in this case, that law put thenmm under attack.

"Moron" you say?

yeagh I'd say so too. 'Look, theres someone wth a gun, I think I'll grab something heavy, raise it over my head and charge him/her."

Since when does it become legal for a policeman (in this case a "paramilitary" Rambo cop) to blatantly shoot to kill in anything less than self defense?
The kid should have been arrested for damaging public property or perhaps even inciting violence, but I'd like to know where you get off saying this young dissenter deserved to die for his political objections.
Shot in the head twice?

I am not saying he deserved to die, but by physically attacking someone he killed himself. You are telling me he is not responsible?

Hmmm......I guess you don't mind we go the way of fascist Germany or even China??

no no no, here I the same right the police officer did. If some masked individual is charging at me with a heavy object, with clear intent to atack me I can shoot. If someone robs me I can shoot. And by a case just recently in Richmond, if I am robbed at gunpoint, I can I run the perpetrator down and shoot him. (thsi doens't mean I am imune from the law if I get the wrong person, or hurt someone in the process, better to let the police do the running down, but still I have the right.) And there is nothing fascist about that. It might have a little taste of vigilantyism in it, but its still my right to protect myself and what I own. You have that right too.
