cops are not judge jury and executioner
They are in certain situations though, typically ones where suspected criminals - especially ones caught in the act - point guns at them. Every time they are there will be an investigation to determine if it was a lawful shooting, and if it isn't they will face consequences (though very often those consequences will NOT be harsh enough, but that's a different story).
There is a thing called due process.
There's a thing called obeying the law too, and this kid didn't follow that. "Due process", the flavour of the month for the left, believe it or not DOES include police shooting suspects to death in certain circumstances.
There is no proof the guy even had a gun.
You haven't seen it, though it reportedly exists. We'll see when the final reports come out.
The cop SAID he had one, and cops are well known for carrying around throw away guns, to plant on people after they have killed them.
Ok so you've jumped straight to "it's a conspiracy". Good for you, but the rest of us like to wait for actual evidence and "due process" to play out. It is currently being investigated. If it is proven that he did have a gun, what will you say then?
If you can't provide a single piece of evidence to support your argument no matter how many times you're asked, it's correct to assume it doesn't exist. Bye now :)
