it's a little fcked up that a cop can execute someone for "advancing on him", but I get it.
I don't like that a cop can make this decision on the fly, shooting someone dead, choosing the gun over other means, unaware of any other factors that could be in play. In this case, sure, dude robbed someone and 'advanced on' the cop... but it's weak. if I'm running FROM an armed bad guy and I ran "at" a cop, I might be just trying to get his help or alert him - I might be injured, scared, shitting my pants, whatever. If he shot me dead for "running at" him, that could be very bad. maybe taze my ass if I don't listen, maybe crack me with a club... no need to shoot my guts out.
but I bet the cop was scared... any pics of him? if he was 5 foot 2 and facing someone 18 inches taller, maybe he did open fire before the other guy laid a finger on him. Maybe that's what all the fuss was about?
Either way, it's been a week now? release the darn bullet entry and show us if bullet entered belly (indicative of an attack/confrontation by bad guy) or if he was shot in back after deciding to flee (very bad for cop).
I guess they just work mon-fri and we'll get it later this week then? seems weird, if they have a report that can DIFFUSE this issue, that they'd let riots keep happening. Show everyone the guy was on top of the cop grabbing gun, shot in belly. Show he wasn't shot in back.
I believe it was a legal shoot... but changing stories like they did, and taking so long for a simple "where did the bullet enter", seems fishy.
