This one’s a little surprising. Yes, at the moment the officer shot him, Hamilton had gotten hold of the officer’s baton. BUT, by most accounts (including the police department’s), the officer provoked the entire confrontation (the guy was fired for that). Tough call.

It was a ridiculous firing. He was fired for patting down a guy who had been lying down in the middle of a walkway with his limbs twitching.

ALL that matters is that the officer gets to go home at the end of the shift.
