I don’t care how bad of an actor he was. Unless he killed someone else, he didn’t deserve to be killed, and unless he was an immediate danger to the police, he shouldn’t have been shot like that.

This was obviously an AD as no officer is going to purposely shoot a suspect in front of dozens of witnesses and with another officer that close to the muzzle of his weapon.

Oscar and friends went out looking for trouble that night and they found it.

Generally, and in this case, I agree with that principle.

I don’t care how bad of an actor he was.

To an extent this is not as easily dismissible. A known bad actor has the possibility of being personally known to, and identifiable by one or more individual cops on the scene. This can legitimately go to probable cause for more scrutiny. It's a fact of life, but as I said, I don't have the information here.
