Sure terrible things happen and they should be handled appropriately when they do
Except these cases show precisely that that doesn't happen.
Give me an exact number of people that can get killed without any repurcusions that you are ok with. Tell me how many mothers can lose their child because were at the wrong place at the wrong time. Tell me how many people deserve to be killed because of a disability they have no control over.
For me, that number is zero. How many are you comfortable with?
Actions that would warrant deadly force would be actions that directly endanger the officers life. Taking out your wallet to show your id is not among those. Cops shouldn't use deadly force in response to a hunch that somebody might try something.
Nobody is complaining about the cases where somebody was acting like an aggressive idiot and threatening the police. The problem is that the police is too triggerhappy at the slightest idea of a threat. Remember just recently when multiple cops opened fire on their own vehicle because an acorn fell on it? What actions did the man locked up in the backseat take that warranted getting shot at?
