How threatening can he be....
BISHKEK (Reuters) - Police guarding the U.S. embassy in Kyrgyzstan shot a naked man who approached the site "in a threatening manner," the embassy said Monday.
"At approximately 3:00 a.m., a seemingly disturbed naked man approached the front guard booth of the embassy. The man threw a heavy object at the booth, cracking one of the windows," the embassy said in a statement.
"Local ... police fired two warning shots. When he continued to ignore the policemen's commands, they fired two shots at the man, wounding him once in the leg."
The embassy did not identify the man and said he was in hospital in a stable condition.
The Central Asian nation is home to a U.S. military airbase used for operations in nearby

Sounds like standard protocol to me.
-Man displays aggressive behavior
-Cops fire warning shots
-Man still displays aggressive behavior
-Cops non-fatally shoot man in order to incapacitate him
Any questions?
