There is little evidence on this thread of any knowledge of the law, or application of common sense. Many would appear to think it is OK to detain someone at gunpoint because you think they may have done something. If that person detained refuses to comply can you use force to prevent his departure? There may be some established case law concerning shooting fleeing felons.
What is obvious is that when the ignorant decide to use firearms in anything but self defense they dive headfirst into a deep well of schidt. Attach whatever social/racial labels you wish but the fact remains that the incident served no purpose and did not have to occur.
