they shot him multiple times even after he stopped and was raising his hands, and then they KILLED him! This was the fourth officer-involved killing in that little town in the last six months, and -- wait for it -- all the officers have been cleared of any wrong doing in the previous cases.

From another news article; "...battled depression after being separated from his two teen daughters, his family said. Antonio Zambrano-Montes, 35, was an orchard worker raised in Michoacan, Mexico, didn’t speak English well..."

A Youtube comment:

"I'm from Ireland and I can tell you if you were to throw a rock at a cop in any European country you'd probably get arrested and put in jail, not shot. Anyone who thinks this is policing, I hope you enjoy living in a totalitarian country. As an outsider, its quite clear to me that the good people of America don't have freedom, only the illusion of freedom. "
