Many people have been killed with rocks, including the first recorded murder.

Don’t bring a rock to a ....

Cops also know what to say. Everyone should take notes.

But, he was such a good kid, so kind, always helpful. Was it really necessary for the cop to shoot him?

[Pollster1]

As long as the cop wasn’t partly Hispanic and the kid wasn’t carrying Skittles, this story should disappear in no time.

I’m assuming the “teenager” is one of holder’s people.

Pity the officer wasn’t a better shot though. Now we’ll end up paying to keep the vegetable alive for 60 years. On second thought we were probably already paying to keep him alive. This way he will at least stop committing crimes

Good thing it didn’t happen in Florida.

Why leave off the last couple of sentences?

The officer gave first aid before Phoenix police and fire showed up to his home.
The 17-year-old, who also hasn't been named, was brought to the hospital, and was in critical condition.
The officer was uninjured.

Weird. I would've expected the evil off-duty cop to have done everything in his power to make sure the "execution" was successful. So odd that an evil stormtrooper ss cop whose home had just been invaded would instead render aid to the invading criminal, once the threat had been eliminated.

...but sooner or later, burglars are bound to run into someone with a gun...

Especially in Arizona where citizens don't need state permission to buy, own, or carry concealed firearms. (We still have those pesky fed rules.)

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???

[Hacksaw]

It was nice of this cop to save the taxpayers some cash by eliminating this feral human from the gene pool. It’s too bad George Zimmerman has been made a political football over the same.

It says that the kid was armed with a large rock? From this statement it’s clear the kids was palestinian and was simply taking advantage right of return and does not recognize the cops right to exist. Expect CAIR to be all over this.

Head shots are very difficult especially if the target is moving. Cops don't usually shoot this well.

How many rounds were fired? Was he aiming at his head, body or the rock?

... the Tolleson cop put a bullet in the intruder's head.

That fella's been getting his time in on the range.

Love it!! Nice shooting!!!! Never bring a rock to a gun fight!!! Unfortunately, the sub-human will probably live. I would have put 3-4 rounds into the sub-human’s chest and then told it to drop the rock. As for administering first aid to the sub-human? Not gonna happen! Ever!
