And before someone says that rocks are deadly and warrant the use of deadly force in return, would you support an American cop shooting an American boy for throwing rocks at him? No! But because this was a filthy Mexican you don't care.
Let me repeat.... Your 15-year-old son goes outside and starts throwing rocks at the local police and they kill him. What do you think about that?

It's a little different in that an American cop would have the option of advancing on the kid and using a different (non-lethal) means to neutralize the situation. The BP agent does not have that option as they were not on US soil and he is not authorized to pursue into another country.
