If this guy was in fact wrestling with the cop for the cops’ weapon, he’s no longer an “unarmed teenager” or whatever the media are calling him today. Deadly force is entirely reasonable in that case.

Even assuming he tried to get the cops gun, he failed. The police officer retained possession of his gun and control of it. So even if that had happened when he shot the kid he was running away and unarmed. How is that justified?

If it's like you say it is not. If the kid was shot during the wrestling match.... That's different.
