Again, while it maybe found to be true, that is for the courts to decide. At that moment all information the cops have is speculative. Shooting someone is not justified by their past actions, it's justified by what they did at that moment.

He was running away with no weapons in his hands. You can argue all day about what this guy did previously, but again in this country that's for the courts to decided. The cops are not the jury or the judge but they sure have become quite the executioners.
