if the cop saw him reach for it, the orange ring would have been irrelevant, but I don't know if the standard requires you allow the suspect to draw, merely that he express the intent and ability to resist with lethal force.


I'm not connecting it to the justifiable or lack thereof of the shoot. I'm just saying the focus on it is irrelevant for this case.

No reasonable person who is asked to respond to the following scene would do it in a manner the cops did:

"There is a 12 year old boy in a park with a gun. There is no one around him and he isn't threatening anyone directly."

Why would you think the obvious way to diffuse the situation is to drive your car right up on top of him at a high speed and jump out of the car with your gun drawn? Both of those cops should be behind bars.
