So we're back to the man being killed because he was stupid. Which is a crass and compassionless way of looking at things, not to mention ethically unsound.

Growing up around guns *is* unsusual here, and people might run for a variety of reasons, not least out of basic fear.

Again it is unclear the police identified themselves clearly. It's been posited that they simply waved a gun at him anmd told him to get down.

If being either stupid or afraid is going to get you shot here, I'm even less happy with the state of affairs than I was before.
