The person breaking the law  and resisting arrest was carrying a concealed weapon.  If he had been smart he would have declared he was carrying, held his arms up in the air, and awaited further instructions by the police.  Instead he chose to tussle and fight and when they saw he was armed and reaching for his weapon the police shot him.   You do not have the liberty of great amounts of time to tihnk, "Ok, he has a weapon. He is reaching for it.  Maybe I will be lucky and he won't try to shoot me."

No, it is a wild melee with only a few seconds to think and act:  shoot first or be shot.  [/quote]

Your description of events is not consistent with reality. Obviously, a mythical scenario that follows your preconceived notions and provides you a justification is preferable to the facts. But, understand that you are not describing what actually happened and what actually happened is much less justifiable.

The only "reality" we have seen is from what the media has chosen to put out for us to view.  Until all the facts come out, and the portions of sound and video that have not been censored or held back become available, then what I have written is just as valid as what the media is throwing out there to paint a picture to fit the narrative of poor ole innocent black being killed for no reason by mean ole white policeman.

I have not forgotten the Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown incidents.  The media did not tell the whole story and even fabricated stuff like Brown had his arms up saying "Don't Shoot!"   The media is notorious for lying.  Until I see legal transcripts 
then it is all fantasy as far as I am concerned. [/quote]

We all heard the cellphone video of the completely neutral bystanders who said "OMG, he had his hands up and they shot him." THey had no stake in the fight AT ALL. We all heard it. You did too. Don't pretend otherwise.[/quote]
