From the evidence to date, it appears this suspect was most likely, and unfortunately, attacking the cop, who was injured, and shot to the arms and up to the head as the suspect (not victim) was approaching and failed to surrender. Text book use of deadly force when confronting a violent person on drugs. From a former cop and attorney. And if there was anything wrong, let the FBI investigation and the local grand jury investigation find it and prosecute it. Do people really believe this cop, or most cops, go around looking to shoot innocent people?

Cops go through psychological assessments, interviews, psychiatrist examinations, lie detector tests; they're pretty solid people. How about we start with this, this individual was stopped for a reason, then displayed aggressive behavior, and now we have a sad ending. Jumping to conclusions and responding with more violence only will bring more skepticism and more violence. The media makes these into race stories and causes so much hatred and anger in society and the city in which the use of force occurs. That is the really sad part. It is the media which perpetuates racism to get a story.

When you look at what they've done...the cop's life ruined, all those businesses that got looted and may never come back, etc., I don't know how those media people can live with themselves.
