A Miami police officer fatally shot a naked man chewing the face of another man Saturday afternoon on a downtown causeway off-ramp, officials said.

The Miami Herald reported that the naked man chewed off half the face of his victim, who is struggling for his life.
The violence started at 2 p.m. on the MacArthur Causeway off-ramp, just south of the Herald’s offices, the newspaper said.
Witnesses said that a woman saw two men fighting and flagged down a police officer, who came upon the naked man mauling the other man, the Herald reported.

The officer, who was not identified, ordered the naked man to back away, but when the man continued the assault, the officer shot him, the Herald said. Witnesses told the Herald the wounded attacker continued to eat his victim, so the officer continued firing.
Witnesses said they heard at least a half-dozen shots, the Herald said.
The naked man was later seen lying face down on the pedestrian walkway just below the newspaper’s two-story parking garage, the Herald said.
The naked man’s victim was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital Ryder Trauma Center and had critical injuries, police told the Herald.
Neither man was identified.

So, yeah, it's begun, What's the plan then gents?

Get a more imaginative copy writer for The Herald? 

Or, more seriously, go to The Winchester, get a couple of pints and wait for this to blow over.

The research has shown that the policeman did the right thing: it is essential to act quickly and decisively when faced by zombie apocalypse, dithering means the entire human race is wiped out.

Looks more like your everyday, run-of-the-mill cannibal holocaust, rather than a zombie apocalypse, but that's only my opinion.  Cool

Cannibals are easier to take down, especially once the prions start having an effect.

no way. i read about a hoax alien invasion where engineering students built fake UFOs and littered them across Britain. they used materials difficult to track and filled them with organic goo with odd properties (a base of fermented porridge i believe).

before anyone had a chance to even Geiger counter the objects the policemen were sitting on them for photos and in one mad case tasting the goo which for all they knew at the time was riddled with alien bacteria and deadly nanites.

what i mean to say is that if anything weird and dangerous like zombies ever took place, the most likely reaction would be total hairbrained idiocy. we'd be wiped out in a day (except those who have been preparing for it of course).
