And so what if he had a gun. Is that a reason to take a life so freely?

It's that heroic philosophy of "Everyone goes home safe" attitude that is so prevalent in law enforcement circles these days. This of course, does not go for all law enforcement, but there are far too many who have become so risk averse, that they'd rather shoot, than take a chance. Even if he had a gun, how much of a threat was he to officers whom had taken positions of concealed cover? The more I think about it, the more it becomes apparent that so many aspects of modern society have morphed so much, that they present a clear and present danger to the citizenry.

Sadly true.
