If the suspect verbally threatened to shoot the cops, they had every reason to respond accordingly.

So you really think that if someone mouths off it is OK to kill them, and any little kid who happens to be behind them?

If you really believe that you need help.

Trained police officers, soldiers, and civilians don't shoot people because they make threats, and they don't shoot without making sure their shots won't strike an innocent person unless they are truly in immediate peril.

Conservatives don’t spout off stupid opinions based upon their feelings with no regards to reality.

This isn’t Car 54. Sheriff Andy isn’t here. When you’ve someone who minutes earlier threatened to kill a cop with a gun turns towards you and makes a noncompliant action which could result in your death in under two seconds, you don’t have time to query everything behind you, adjust your sights, and shoot the perp in the brainstem.

Soldiers don’t shoot people who make threats? Really? What do they do then? Write them up citations?
