I fully respect that people are unlawfully killed by police in america and they should be held accountable, but the reporting of this event doesn't suggest that is applicable in this case

...that still completely contradicts and betrays the oath, though because a more disabling shot could have been what happened...rather than a shoot to kill...the force could have also been armed with less lethal weapons such as tasers...(...if that’s not something they usually would have had anyway...)...Armed officers should be adequately trained in preserving life when they’re forced to open fire...whichever way it’s flipped, it’s a total disregard for life by the justice system in not providing training...hence a responsibility there...
