I’m still not convinced one way or the other.

I’m not either, really. They may well be convicted of something.
My observation is just that, an observation, it’s never a good idea to attack an armed man.

I agree with you.....not really sure what to make of this case....might be murder of a black man......might be self defense. It’s unclear to me.

Anyway, like to do mental gymnastics with cases like this. Perception is everything whether we admit it or not. Mentally.....

replace the black man with a dude in a KKK outfit and the white father and son with a black father and son. Everything else is exactly the same. Now....who do you think is fault.

Or replace the black man with a white woman. Who’s at fault now?

Or replace the father and son with a mother and daughter.

This could go on and on. Replace the father and son with two two Nazi’s and the black guy with a holocaust survivor.

My point is... we have to be careful to not be biased by our preconceived notions. Justice is blind after all. From my standpoint, it looks like the father and son didn’t level the gun at the black guy and he rushed them... which makes the black guy in the wrong. But, that doesn’t feel like justice to me. Why did they even go chasing him? That’s the police’s role. So, they sent something bad in motion. I’m glad I won’t be on the jury.
