No one, certainly not the police, has any legal justification for shooting someone with their hands raised and no belief they are armed and able to use a weapon. Nothing the police have said have cast any doubt on those facts.

Nor have there been any facts to support the preposterous notion that the Gentle Giant had his hands raised (or was kneeling begging for mercy, or that he was running away). So your later statement "Absent some facts we haven’t seen, the Officer murdered him. Period." is quite revealing, not about the officer or Gentle Giant, but you. You require exculpatory evidence to not believe the narrative that the officer is a cold blooded executioner, yet you require no evidence to believe that he is such a monster. That reveals quite a bit about your character, and that revelation is not particularly favorable.

I tell you what a 390# 6’4” man beats the hell out of me tries to take my gun. I shoot him and he just raises his hands and starts dancing back toward me? I going to pour everything I have into him and pray it’s going to be enough.
