The Police didn't know he was unarmed. The guy stopped and was turning. Were they suppose to wait for the bullets to hit them before they could fire back?
Tell us from your vast experience chasing bad guys how you deal with it?

There are some here on FR who would answer yes.

It seems you’re attempting to make me the story or issue here. I had nothing to do with the outcome here.

I only clarified the suspect was unarmed when shot to death, as a poster mistakenly thought differently.

I have no idea what the cops were thinking here. Based on the reports, the only thing which appears clear is the cops shot the suspect to death before seeing a weapon in the suspects hand.

You might not understand, but cops are supposed to be trained to look at a suspects hands for weapons, before shooting.
