And the Crawford case is pretty obviously a tragic mistake. They got told by dispatch there was a man with a real gun. Crawford's gun looked real and he refused to comply with the cops. Weird how if he had just complied with the cops, they wouldn't have shot him even though they genuinely thought he had a gun.

You know how I can tell you didn't bother to read up on the case. The shooting was captured by the store's security video camera.Crawford was talking on his cell-phone while holding the BB/pellet air rifle, when he was killed. According to those who viewed video footage of the event, the officers fired immediately without giving any verbal commands and without giving Crawford any time to drop the toy even if he had heard them.

The article you posted is just mindless cherrypicking. It means nothing. I can do it, too.

You should do better. Video of the incident shows Taylor walking away with his hands in his waistband under his shirt. "Get your hands up, now!" Cruz is heard yelling in the video. "No, fool." Taylor replies, continuing to walk away. Then Taylor turns around and removes his hands from this waistband, Cruz shoots him twice, striking him in the chest and abdomen. A deposition obtained by KSL Tuesday noted that Cruz became emotional when he recounted the incident, and said that although he "wasn't about to shoot [Taylor] in the back," he was "100 percent convinced when I saw him turn around it was gonna be a gunfight." "Nothing that Mr. Taylor did assisted in de-escalating the situation." He also had a blood alcohol level of .18.

The second case the teen was under the influence of acid. Assaulted two people in vehicles. He then proceeded to bang on the campus police station's windows and charge an officer.

So you chose two cases were officers were justified in their shootings.
