So far it's the cop's word, against 3 civilians. 2 civilians seem to have no skin in the fight, just telling what they saw.

I didn't read the thread after your reply, but anyway, I don't care what happened before he was killed, he turned, threw his hands up and said don't shoot (according to reports), anything after that is an execution

Didn't you know..no matter what is told or even shown..the right will always side with the guy who killed the black.
In fact..the first thing they do when a black gets killed..scour the net for criminals records, bad behavior..etc. Then justify the shooting.

I have a problem with the cops being judge and executioner.

You need to edited that last line out of your post, unless you really are a bigot. That kind of talk is evil and makes me sick.

OK, lets get something straight here. He didn't loose his life over cigars. He lost his life because he assaulted a police officer while he was inside his car.
In that instant, he took his own life in his hands.

Robbery seems such a strong word.
It evokes, to me, taking power from the shop owner, and taking control.
This looks more like shoplifting.
