But they didn't shoot first.
The man was detained by security at a local store for shoplifting, he resisted and assaulted the security staff there, police were called and they were assault. A car chase took place, the man armed himself with a bat or a stick, and police tried to take him down (somewhat) peacefully by using a taser which had no effect. The man was heading to a populated area, was armed with a bat or stick or something, and had already assaulted multiple people. Police thought they saw him reach for another weapon and took him out - he was a threat to society at that point.
This wasn't the police rolling up and shooting him. This was a half hour or longer of trying to get this man restrained so he didn't hurt someone.
Don't tell me it doesn't happen anywhere else - A quick scan of google tells me it's happened recently in Iceland, UK, Ireland, Romaina....
