What about these two cops?
I posted this story the night the shooting took place on FR and it was removed.

This man was resisting and he was a felon. There was a gun in his pocket, not in his hand.
These two cops couldn’t subdue him and put on the cuffs? They had to pull out a gun to deal with this situation?
Maybe he was drunk or stone or just plain stupid. It seems taking a life should involve a greater level of threat than this.
The Louisiana case is not clear cut. The felon resisted and had to be taken down. There’s a good chance the cops noticed the gun at that time, and when they were having trouble restraining his arms, that’s when one cop drew his weapon. At that time (the video is not clear on this because you can’t see the felon’s right arm), the felon might have gone for his gun, so the cop shot him.
In the Minnesota case, we have no idea of what happened prior to the shooting. Maybe the woman is telling the truth, but we can see that she couldn’t see if the guy was getting his wallet or his gun since she was driving and the gun was on the guy’s right side. The cop there could see, however. The question is was it a good shoot or a bad decision by the cop.
