You know, I'm not saying they should be faulted. I'm simply saying
there should be a coroner's inquest. I also think marshals should be
equipped with tasers in addition to pistolas.
I wonder if a taser would be a good idea for use near an electrical
detonation device.
I wonder if a gun would be a good thing to use with a perp who has his
finger on a detonation trigger.

Although there's always the chance of one last twitch, a bullet in the
mouth/eye/throat (depending on angle) stops the action instantly. It hits
what snipers call the "plum".


I wasn't aware the marshals had pumped their six shots into the guy's
mouth, eye, and throat. His head must have fallen clean off.

I didn't say that, and we don't know. What I *do* know for a fact is that
they're trained and expected to put the first shot in the head. This mandate
is completely different than that followed by a street cop. If you don't
understand why, think about it some more.
