You couldn't begin to compare this situation with say, Kent State, for

I'm betting that by tomorrow, it will be a racial incident and that
the Reverend Jackson will be right in the middle of it.
Interesting though that it's the second Brazilian shot dead in the
past six months or so for refusing to respond to police commands.
Anyway, there were more witness reports of the guy talking about bomb
that the two who said they never heard it, so it probably was a good
shoot. Those guys have a tough job - I hope the Marshall can handle
it without falling apart.
The fellow who was shot was a US citizen, and I believe he was a native
of Costa Rica.
Apparently, he's been here since 1986. More than enough time to
understand shouted requests to show his hands, put down the bag, etc.
Sure, unless you suffer from a serious mental illness.
As I stated, hopefully there will be a coroner's inquest.
So let me get this straight Harry. If one suffers from a mental illness,
claims to have a bomb, runs towards a building full of people, is ordered to
stop but does not...............that person should not be shot.
And how many sane and stable people would claim to have a bomb, run towards
a building full of people and then keep running when ordered to stop by
police?
