It was at least 30 seconds after the first shout of show me your hands was called out. He had up to a minute to ditch the gun and surrender with his hands up. Clean shoot.

Except that no gun has been found. But say, for the sake of argument, he had a gun and ditched it. It still means that he was unarmed when the police shot him.

Right, so would they not have found the ditched gun? Shooting an unarmed man holding a cellphone sure sounds like a screwup. Half the people in the world today are walking around holding a cell phone. That cannot be a justification for shooting him.

clean shoot cause he did not comply within 30 seconds? Umm, no offense but are you out of your mind?

What if the guy was def? What if he had earbuds and music playing?

I don't give a rats ass if the cops say show me your hands and the person stands there for ten freaking hours. If there is no threat to the officer or other innocent person the police DO NOT GET TO EXECUTE SOMEONE JUST BECAUSE THEY DON'T COMPLY.

After the California police shot him, they said he was holding at “tool bar.”

[So we know that they never did a day of real work in their lives.]

That story didn’t hold up. So they said that he was holding a cellphone.
