After giving the teenager commands to drop the rock, police say the kid instead cocked his arm back as if he were going to throw it at the officer, and the Tolleson cop put a bullet in the intruder's head.

Was there some reason why he couldn't have just shot him in the leg???

Let Me guess, you're not a cop, you just play one on T.V.?

Let's run throught the robbers choices in this incident. When confronted with the home owner He could've:

A. Run away,

B. Dropped the rock and surrendered, or

C. Attenpted to throw the rock at the homeowner.

He chose unwisely.

Any other teens who might be tempted to “B&E” are likely to reconsider if enough invaders receive ventilation ports in their skulls.

Simply plugging a leg will likely leave a dirtbag able to sue. Unless you happen to nick the femoral artery.
