I have hard time siding with either side in this story. It sounds like the cops made some stupid moves for sure, but there's a lot we probably don't know about.
It's difficult for me to judge people after reading a few paragraphs of a report that likely originated from the family and friends of the victim. The prior convictions of the son also raise a few flags. If I put myself in a cop's boots, I'd be very cautious and on edge around that house.
Having said all that, shooting the guy sounds a bit drastic if he hadn't even got to his weapon yet. The article makes it sound like he was well away from it. Sounds like the officers would have had enough time to tase him instead of kill him. If I HAD to choose a side based on this information, it'd be the side of the victim.
Honestly though, immediately painting these cops as racist and murderers is a bit drastic and cliche, no? I'd be more comfortable declaring them so after more facts are revealed.
I'm not a fan of cops usually, but I'm tired of people lumping all of them into the same negative categories.

Person 2: Wait! It's amazing! Unique, charming, drop dead gorgeous... Hello?
