My limited knowledge of case law, very limited, leads me to believe that if the cop cannot demonstrate Imminent Threat, he's a candidate for Murder II.

Correct. This talk of 'he robbed the store' and 'he didn't rob the store is meaningless. Cops can't execute people for that.

Correct. Cops can't execute people for that. And given that this is almost certainly not an execution, your point is also meaningless.

No, it's not meaningless. It makes a great deal of difference to most people. There are pictures of this guy acting like a thug, bullying a shopkeeper. Who cares that he's now dead? Who cares why he's dead? This world is a better place without him.
