The mother of Rudy Eugene, who was shot and killed by a police officer as he chewed the face off a homeless man in Miami, says her son was "a nice kid" who could have been subdued with a Taser rather than gunfire.
"He was a good kid. He gave me a nice card on Mother’s Day. Everyone says he was a zombie. He was no zombie. That was my son,” the mother, who asked that her name not be revealed, told CNN affliate WFOR.
Eugene, 31, was killed by a police officer on Saturday after an 18-minute attack on a homeless man, identified by police as 65-year-old Ronald Poppo. Video of the incident shows Eugene coming across Poppo on a sidewalk along Miami's MacArthur Causeway, stripping clothes off him and eventually chewing on his face.
Police said Poppo lost 75% of his face in the attack. He was in critical condition at a Miami hospital.
Eugene's mother said police didn't need to shoot her son.
"They could have tased him," she told WFOR. "I saw what happened on TV and I started crying.”

Moms name not released.....Well is it not the same as the face munchers....what is it with these “families” these days such as Little Travey Martin...no ones got the same last name?!?!
The reasons are:
1. Probably multiple "baby daddies" and
2. "My benefits"
I wonder if Pelosi’s face tastes like plastic?

“wouldn’t even hurt a fly”
Apparently he wouldn’t eat one either.
Shown a younger photo of Rudy Eugene in a hoodie, Obama commented that he could have been his son.

“...Pelosi’s face...”
Disturbing mental image. Yuk.
I have argued time and again that officers today in the USA are too anxious to shoot.
I won’t be making that argument today. When feeding zombies are encountered I expect the officer to shoot first and ask no questions. No questions from me or anybody else. Congratulations are in order. Shoot more. I will help.

I am sick of zombies, zombie movies, zombies, zombies, zombies!
Rudy Eugene sounds more like a ghoul than a zombie.

Accordign ot hte reports lady, a bullet didn’;t even subdue him at first- after beign shiot, He turned, growled, and turned back and kept biting off pieces of the dues face.
apparently, noone can use deadly force anyomore?
[[If it was drugs (most likely), maybe the mom should be campaigning against that particular substance.]]
Nah- it’s not as profitable as blamign someone else for soemthign their son did-
[[“wouldn’t even hurt a fly”]]
Except of course if htere was a fly on someone’s face
Sorry ma'am, but I don't believe you. If he was a "good kid", he wouldn't be getting high and attacking people.
so which is it?.....mom had better wish that her son was a drugged out psycho or a zombie rather than what could be the truth...a racist violent punk animal....
I was being sarcastic and forgot the obligatory “/s”.
It was the right call.
Yuh can’t fix crazy...
