Border Patrol Agent Kills Mexican Teen Throwing Rocks

So a group of illegal immigrants were being smuggled into the US and they were discovered and 2 of them were detained while the rest ran back to Mexico. Those that ran back to Mexico started throwing rocks at the border agent. The border agent told them to stop but they didn't. The article says the agent was surrounded, not sure how they surrounded the agent from Mexico. Anyway the agent fired his/her weapon and 1 of the teens ended up dead.

1. A human life was lost, that is sad
2. I judge these things based on how I was raised

Person throwing a rock at person with gun = person asking to get shot. If this had been me and I survived my parents would have beat my ass for doing something that stupid. I was told not to even talk back to the police just because you never know when they want to trip. Yeah police are wrong when they use excessive force, but is that what you want on your grave? And I'm a legal citizen. I'm sure Ruben Naverrette will have an editorial by tomorrow about how egregious this is.

I don't understand how the border agent was on a bike... That's a dangerous job and he has a bicycle? Nah that's not okay. The messed up part is the agent probably has a bullet proof vest but no way to get away if he/she is in trouble.
