Five shots on a tackled guy is excessive.
I am willing to grant that this was under extraordinary circumstances.
I am willing to place *some* of the blame for this on *both* parties.
Yes, he probably wouldn't have been shot if he hadn't run. However, under normal circumstances, would police actually shoot someone for running?
If, as it has been suggested, he was running because he hadn't renewed his visa do you think he thought he was going to be shot?
Do you think if something like this occured three weeks ago, that he would have just been arrested, or would they have blown his head off for running?
