While I am no fan of Law Enforcement brutality, are they implying that if a youth is unarmed, black, violent and going for your gun it’s okay to let him? Geez!

Exactly. I’m not a big fan of the increasing militarism of police departments. But I am sympathetic to the cop on the beat that has to deal with the worst of the worst parts of the city, often alone. 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.
