There was a chain of events leading up to the shooting. I'm not saying a petty thief deserves to be shot, but in this situation his actions got himself killed.
Body cameras would be a good thing. I know some cities have them.

That's all I'm going to say about that.

Exactly, some folks choose to listen to only one side of the story without knowing facts and blindly follow it, people forget that there are 2 sides to a story.

If you think shooting dead an unarmed person (I'm 99% sure he was definitely unarmed) is ok, your brain wiring is all kinds of wrong. Whether he was a thief, or gangbanger, or whatever, excessive force resulting in death is not something that should be justifiable just because its written down as a law.
It doesn't take a genius to work out that killing people is a bad thing, especially when cops have various other methods of subduing aggressors. It just seems that the mentality in North America is one of "Fuck it, I'll just shoot him and worry about it after the fact" and that is not good for anybody.

Did you hear about the 12 year old kid (black, of course) who was shot dead by cops because he had a pellet gun?
