I’ve looked into hundreds of these over the years. Some people needed killing. Others were involved in lawbreaking, maybe didn’t need to be shot in the circumstance, but were.
For the most part, I’m not so much worried about those, unless particularly egregious, for example the killing of Walter Scott. There may be a few others that are highly questionable.
However, the catagory I focus on, and am concerned about is: (1) Innocent citizens, (2) acting in a lawful manner, (3) behaving rationally for them under the circumstances- but still shot by police.
Someone reaching for a cellphone, police mistaken identity, a SWAT wrong house raid (because often in those cases the police haven’t really notified the people inside that’s it’s the police), an innocent citizen making a “furtive move” or “disobeying police (often contradictory) commands” being blown away I have a problem with.
This case falls into that catagory.
I’ve noted hundreds of those over the years.
I study these. These are the worst I’ve seen:

I don’t know what the result was in the first one, but the second one went to prison.
This is what was so great about the collapse of the St. Breonna #Narrative, the guy who told the cops to 'git' but incidentally acknowledged they identified themselves as police repeatedly, his testimony almost solely nulled the GJ. Then when Walker opened fire anyway and got St. Bre killed, Walker initially blamed St. Bre for firing the shot!
