For the record, you're taking the police side of the story at full face value, without nuance.
No one I know believes the fantastical villain you describe was on the scene that night. Nor would they defend said villainy.
As I understand it:
The victim was unarmed, the cop had reason to believe he was unarmed. The victim was shot many times by said cop, while witnesses on the scene say that the victim was not moving toward the officer when the shots were fired.
Witnesses say he did not try to beat up the cop. The cop was sitting in his vehicle, and asked to see ID, and the perp reached into the vehicle instead of holding his ID outside the vehicle. That makes cops nervous, but it's not an attack.
Besides, the shooting took place many minutes after that. It was really an unrelated incident. Sure, the reaching of the arm into the vehicle made the cop nervous, and distrustful, but the cop didn't immediately draw a weapon or attempt to physically subdue his "assailant".
The video of him robbing a store was not a related incident.
The standing in the road bit has no place in your argument.
EDIT: Pooty T is from the streets. How you gonna tell Pooty he can't walk across the street? youknowimsayin?
