I vote some people get together and throw rocks at each other from that distance to see if they are to be considered dangerous.

Yeah, it was a lucky shot, but he was still shooting AT the people, and whenever you shoot AT people, death is a very good possibility. Protesters throw rocks at cops all the time during protests and riots all the time, but you don't see those cops opening fire on them. If you are going to keep lowering the bar on what constitutes the need for deadly force, I asked if insults were next. I wasn't comparing them. This looks like a classic case of excessive force.

Life isnt all roses and boxes of candy. Decisions have to be made and enforced by whatever means it takes to stop an illegal action. Which means if you assault an officer for any type of unit then guess what you can land yourself in a body bag. He made his choice and he choose poorly.

Er, I don't think I have ever said anything about "securing the border." And you know what? People can make the wrong decisions, too. The kid make the wrong decision to throw rocks, and the agent made the wrong decision to shoot him. Why try and pretend that some people are perfect and others aren't? There is no need to defend the indefensible.

You always shot at your target. No surprise that he did. Shoting away from your target can get someone that actually is innocent killed. When cops show up at a riot they show up with riot gear and non lethal rounds. You have no what could have happened if one of those rocks would have put him on the ground. Maybe the plan was to cross the border by whatever means nessecary. He had no riot gear and no form of non lethal protection he could use at that range. So he did exactly what he should have done. Ergo he made the right decision and a punk ass kid is dead. Just maybe by putting him down he saved the life of some other innocent person. If hes willing to stone a cop he willing to do worse to someone that is unarmed.
