No one said it was an easy job, the reason these people are dead is because the police officer was in a shoot first, think later mind frame though.

well, when idiots realize that there's someone pointing a gun at them, maybe they should start listening and realizing that the slightest thing they may do that deviates from what the guy with the gun says, may result in them being shot.

Until police officers start educating high school kids more on what to do and what not to do when approached by officers, things like this will continue to happen.

I'm sure this has been posted numerous times. But the smarter thing to have done in that situation would have been to taste them instead of drawing guns. I think if there is a common theme in most of these highly publicized police shootings it is the fact that the police too quickly reach for their gun instead of something way less deadly like a taser. This didn't seem like a gun-drawing situation to me.
