See, we're on different sides of the aisle, but we agree: we need to do more to address systemic racism.
There is--right now--an investigation into the shooting and whether it was justified. I'm not an expert on that, but as a layperson, it sure looks bad for the police. If he was saying threatening things--like he was going for his gun--then it's almost certainly justified. If he was saying, "F-this, I'm out of here" then it's feels a lot less justified--even if he was resisting lawful arrest. Resisting arrest is not a valid reason to impose the deadly force. Putting someone's life in immediate jeopardy is.
And getting back to what I said so many pages back, if he was threatening to go get a gun from his car why the heck didn't they do more to stop him, like maneuvering in front of him, for example?
The investigation will tell us more when it is complete.
