    An immigrant worker in Pasco, Washington was shot and killed by three police officers last February after allegedly throwing rocks at them. A video shows the worker, Antonio Zambrano-Montes, running away from the officers who then shot him 17 times. The officers will not face any charges. The worker's family has filed lawsuits against the officers and city. The document suggests that while the worker was reportedly throwing rocks, he did not need to be killed since he was shot in the arm first and could have been subdued with fewer shots or other non-lethal methods. Requiring body cameras for officers could help decrease police brutality by holding them accountable for their actions and providing stronger evidence of incidents.
