From what I’ve read, the police were called because of a report of a man with a gun...they get there and find Sterling...who refuses to comply with police orders...they tased him twice with no success...then tackled him and were trying to cuff him when they saw the gun (he’s a convicted felon)...and shot him, thinking he was going for the gun.
Its a terrible situation, and the cops won’t be getting any medals for sure.
But I’d wager he wasn’t complying because he didn’t want them to find the gun...and resisting the police, with a concealed illegal gun in your pocket, is asking for disaster.
Illegal gun? The second amendment make no such distinction, so there's no such thing. If he shouldn't be armed, he shouldn't be free.
