      I did, there was zero impetus for the police to use lethal force. He was refusing to answer their questions. The people from the domestic violence incident had left, and if he matched the description of those people it would have been mentioned.

      They didn’t have a basis for detaining him, and they didn’t have a crime they were investigating. If they thought they had either of these things it’s because they didn’t do their job.

      This is another instance of police officers deciding to restrict the lawful activities of citizens.
