Your first six lines are nonsense. You set the bar way too low so as to excuse this police action. For me, this is not an issue of govt out of control (your effort to change the topic),  agents of govt maybe (though I would not presume the officer was out of control, rather simply following his/her training and ROEs, knowing at the end of the day he/she will not be held accountable for their actions). Your comment on the victim's state of mind is likewise nonsense...a person of sound mind de facto does not commit suicide. If the officer hadn't planned on killing that day, i.e. foreseen the likelihood of being in a high risk situation, he/she needs to find another job. He/she doesn't carry a sidearm for kicks. It is part of the job on a daily basis. If he/she hasn't/doesn't think about it (maybe you're right in this case), it's not surprising that situations like this occur, all too frequently I'm sorry to say. My position is that this didn't have to end this way-resembles an execution.
