The one constant in just about all of these shootings is the refusal of the subject to follow commands. Like it or not,  Police have that authority. They do not have the authority to randomly shoot those who disobey commands though. The difference in this case is that the subject reached into the car, hiding his hands from view fro law enforcement officers. Given the amount of killings OF police, they are even more cautious than ever. Bottom line is that if this guy would have allowed the police to detain him and ascertain whether he was a threat or not, he would be alive today. Blame the cops all you want. Per YOUR source, there is only one person who did not do things right. He paid the ultimate price just to do what? Make some kind of statement? Somehow I think he won't be making that statement anytime soon.
