So they knew he had a slug inside him from one of the dead officers before they shot him? They knew he had a gun from the previous incident before they shot him? Even if they did know both of those things, are you saying that this makes it ok for cops to shoot him even if they are not provoked?
Do you really think that this guy when confronted with the cops he did not provoke in some way?
remember this guy was quoted as saying to cell mates the night before the shooting "I am going to kill a group of cops", there is no way this guy was being arrested with out provoking, There is no way in hell acop would have gone near this guy with out side arm in hand, he had no regard for life his or anybody else.

The assumption that we are not-guilty is something I would like to protect.
You have obviously never been charged with a crime, although we like to think you're innocent until proven guilty, things are not that way in the real world. You need to spend 100's if not 1000's of dollars to prove that your innocent, even if the law is on your side the prosecutes in the eyes of the courts are right you as the defendant need to prove you're innocent.
