re: DC firefighter under investigation for Facebook posts on BR shooting

I have to believe that when the gun became visible with a still struggling suspect who was not subdued or cuffed yet, ANY movement towards that weapon could reasonably be viewed as life threatening. The escalation of force was reasonable from what I've seen and read. Verbally order suspect down and he doesn't comply. Taser suspect and he doesn't comply. Physically take down suspect and he continues to resist. Gun visible with a motion towards the pocket = deadly threat resulting in shots fired. The cop even warns him with his gun drawn on his chest and he still fights and resists with a visible gun. Shitty choice made by this criminal who put cops in life threatening situation. Nobody black, white or whatever is gonna have that end well. These crazy frickers keep saying it was murder in cold blood. I mean damn, if they were two murderous black man hunting killers they could have just skipped all the escalation part and shot him dead on sight.
