There are imaginable scenarios in which the cop would not be found guilty or an executioner. We still don’t have the policeman’s side of the story.

Absolutely. He probably was justified. My point was that the robbery didn't not authorize the shooting.

I think the cop is digging a deep hole to get out of by not making his version of events public.

I don't think any sentient being is claiming the robbery justified the shooting. The question is whether the behavior of the deceased justified the use of deadly force. That's the only question, the rest of the rhetoric is just irrelevant crap.
