First of all, I'm gonna need more background here. What happened beforehand?

Secondly, why don't people just listen? They had to tell him 3 or 4 times to keep his hands up. He absolutely didn't deserve to be shot (at least from what the video shows), but what was he trying to accomplish by continually putting his hands down?

Dispatcher mistakenly put a call out for a possibly armed robbery at a drug store, when it was only a stolen bike that was left unattended. This occurs in a not so safe neighborhood. Cops respond assuming possibly armed, trying to watch three suspects when one makes a move that given the context of the situation was perceived as a threat.

No doubt.

I don't think that's disputed either.

The bottom line. The penalty for not listening is not death. The penalty for calling a cop a dick is not death. I can't imagine what could have happened beforehand that could change how the shooting was not justified. It can only provide blathering points to try to put the cops in a good light.
