(Reuters) - Police in Washington state shot a man to death who threw rocks at them, officials said on Wednesday, as a video published online appearing to show the incident drew criticism of the officers' actions.
The police shooting in Pasco, Washington comes amid heightened tension across the country in the wake of high-profile police killings of unarmed minorities, particularly in Ferguson, Missouri and New York City.
Officers Ryan Flanagan, Adam Wright, and Adrian Alaniz arrived at the parking lot of a Fiesta Foods grocery store around 5 p.m. local time on Tuesday, where suspect Antonio Zambrano-Montes threw rocks at them, Pasco Police Chief Bob Metzger said in a statement.
The officers attempted to use a stun gun to incapacitate Zambrano-Montes after he would not obey commands to surrender, before they opened fire and killed him, the statement said.

Witnesses also say that the police statements of multiple rocks hitting officers is wrong and only one rock was thrown. We can see from the video that Antonio is clearly running away when the cops begin shooting him they shoot him first in the middle of a busy intersection. When he doesn't fall dead due to poor marksmanship not to lack of shots fired, he runs along the side of a bakery and when he does finally stop as per their command they do then manage to mortally wound him with multiple shots to the chest.
This man threw a rock at cops and now he's dead. Our country is being handled by fascists who uphold their law by breaking our laws, and we allow it in the name of safety?
