Why arrest the man when he threw a grenade? To me that means life and death and no prisoner when getting him. He threw a grenade and by the grace of god it did not kill the law enforcement officers. Dear government officers tell your men that followed the culprit to protect themselves once and fore all. What if he had another grenade? IN SUCH CASES NO PRISONERS please !
