Actually you are inventing details.

Let me remind you:

“Thomas was found with a gun next to his body, but police haven’t said where that gun came from or whether Thomas even had it in his hand when he was shot. “

Even if Thomas had a gun (which hasn’t been established) he has the second amendment right to self-defense. Since it has not been established that he was pointing any gun at police or running toward the police, the officer who shot him is guilty of murder.

The second amendment is a very important consideration in this case. “He had a gun in his hand/in a holster” should NEVER be appropriate justification, by any government employee, for shooting a citizen.

Ok dude back off. I have no personal knowledge of the events and you don’t either. Do not post to me again and do not accuse me of “inventing details” you are simply out of line.
