Yes, everything you said is why this is not the Zimmerman or brown case.
The only thing I differ with is your speculation on what he should have or could have done. It is not exactly the same, but similar to the old “couldn’t he have shot the gun out of his hand?” argument.
I think that at the very least he showed poor judgement. But that often goes along with acting emotionally rather than logically.
On the other hand, it’s actually possible that this cop was a racist that figured he wasn’t letting that “n-word” getting away with messing up his uniform.
Yes, I do realize it could be something like that.
It’s why I think it will get interesting as facts come out.
I have a feeling this has a lot more in common with the cop that shot the black guy going into his car to get his license than the Brown shooting.

The poor judgement is why I mentioned him being a professional LEO.
He wasn’t some mall cop. They’re supposed be trained and have aptitude for clear headed thinking in situations like that.
As for this being like shooting the gun out of his hand, the guy wasn’t armed and was slowly running away.
Hell maybe the cop shot him because he didn’t feel like chasing him lol.
