“In don’t accept your definition of a clean shoot. For instance, if I awake at night to find someone has broken into my home, that person will be dead weather or not he or she is armed.”
Your home is not the street. The two situations are not nearly the same. And the witnesses are all saying hands up, no gun.
As for investigations? Tell me you don’t actually trust cops to diligently investigate their own? They have every incentive to bring back the traditional “We followed procedures,” report. And not one incentive to conduct a real, hard hitting and critical investigation.
Yes, but one street witness is saying his hands were up the whole time of the incident, another witness (the other “male” he was walking with, probably fellow gang member) says that he put his hands up and turned around after he was shot. So which is it? And why would you believe these people anyways?
I disagree with you. There is little difference between being at home or on the street when there is a split second to make the decision to use force in self defense. The analogies demonstrate that lethal force can be justifiable when the victim or attacker is not armed. It wasn’t meant as a comparison of a cop on the street or a grandmother in her house, but the instant response of self defense.
