Him and CJ always gloat when the state takes kids from their parents, and here they obviously see nothing wrong with shooting a father over child support either...

  I believe they were trying to arrest him over the child support. They shot him over holding a family hostage and attempting to shoot the police. Slight difference.

Not much. He was trying to escape police who had broken into his home to capture him, because he was allegedly behind in his child support payments. Everything else followed that.

Not quite, as he wasn't holding a family hostage when he was shot. I don't really condone the actions of this guy as far as that goes, nor do I condone him shooting at cops.

What I am saying though is that the original action of breaking into his house with guns over child support is what started this whole thing. If there WERE an avenue that a person could take that would lead to a proper and just settlement of child support matters, then this person more than likely would not have reached the point of desperation, as was obviously the case here..
