Stop being disingenuous. The rocks were thrown at cars. They weren't interrupting a public stoning.
Do you know how many people died from rocks thrown at cars? I'm not talking hypotheticals, I'm talking real deaths and injuries.
Do you? I'd wager it's considerably lower than deaths from shootings involving figures of authority.
I mean, you can keep moving the goalpost all you want, doesn't make you any less wrong.
Me move the goalposts? What are you talking about? I've been maintaining the whole time that it's potentially over the top to shoot someone with a gun when they are throwing rocks at cars, while admitting we don't have all the facts om how it went down.
You on the other hand, keep coming back to me about different rock related dangers and vaguely alluding that shooting someone throwing rocks is fine whatever the scenario because rocks can be *hand wavy* amounts of dangerous.
You asked me if I knew the stats on rock throwing deaths. I don't, but I assumed you would enlighten me seeing as you brought it up. Instead you accuse me of moving the goalposts when I'm still taking about the case in point.
