2. That Guy Needed Shot?

He was armed with a bike lock apparently.

So a swarm of policemen, all carrying long guns, couldn't have cornered and subdued him, rather than shooting in a public store, near dressing rooms?

Sorry, no way in hell I'm buying that.

If he had a gun, and they saw him holding it, that would be different. Even a knife might help their case. But he had neither, and I don't think he was going to beat a bunch of armed cops with a bike lock.

Negligent Manslaughter. Cops always seem to shoot first, and offer apologies and thoughts and prayers later.
