Yep, definitely the important details are not present in this picture. However, firing even one shot at the police who's trying to arrest you justifies use of whatever force necessary to subdue the attacker.

5 children were killed by police.
61 homes were burned--the vast majority of these homes were neighbors who had nothing to do with MOVE.
Were either of these things "necessary to subdue the attacker"?

Just so you can't accuse me of sidestepping the question, my answer to this is obviously "no".
Feel free to answer whether you think that killing 5 children and burning 61 homes was necessary to subdue the attacker at any time.
The fact is, if you literally can't even say that burning children to death was wrong, you don't get to go around pretend you have an ethical stance on arson.
