Yes, and what was the problem with the four people killed there? Are you saying is was their own fault? no, I don't really want a response to that, as it's kinda off-topic.

Denim, it's okay to ask stuff. We can second guess this forever. IMHO, it's hard to hide a line of cops with lights flashing. I've found that it's always best to go in the opposite direction from police with loudspeakers and cars with flashing lights.
The difference between Boston and Kent is that this girl was killed by a policeman, and that by accident. Kent State was a deliberate shooting with intent to kill. There were numerous inquiries and analyses of the recordings. The guardsman said they heard gunshots, but I don't think it was ever substantiated.
This was a minor incident except to those directly involved. I understand the pain and grief that those involved are feeling, on both sides. But I don't get so upset about bad news anymore, my sense of scale is pretty burned out now.
