The facts surrounding the shooting are not yet in, I would reserve judgement
I personally have been on the wrong end of a phyco cop on drugs gun who ran into a covenience store and was ready to blow me away for no reason but was stopped by two of his fellow officers who dragged him out of there leaving myself an the shop keeper bewildered
Not likely this was the case here, but the truth about the shooting has yet to be established
You're right, of course.
Suppose the cop DID over-react and shoot the guy when he maybe should have tased?
We DO know that the gentle giant got into fisticuffs in the guy's police vehicle, that he tried to take his gun.
