and yet it ALWAYS goes back to the FACT, that the planned, deliberate criminal conduct of the dead spade, is the one thing that caused everything else. Maybe young black males could consider this aspect, and just not be criminals by choice. With crime, as with most everything else in life, there ARE consequences.

Unfortunately, the above is the honest truth. If people don't want to be hit on the head with a night-stick or shot, then don't attack the police with intent to do harm and don't "do" criminal activity and NOT expect to be held accountable for doing it.
Until this criminal misbehavior stops, the shooting of young, black males by the police will continue because it is the authorities JOB for which WE pay them to attempt to stop criminal activity regardless of the color of the "perp's" skin.
When they say that the physically strong and powerful 19 year old defensive back football player wasn't "armed", they're WRONG. That big, strong and very powerful young man was "armed" with great physical strength and the [b]mentality to use it on ANYONE[/b], including an armed policeman, to do great physical harm and damage to other human beings including the police who ARE armed for exactlyTHAT reason !!!
And it would be idiotic to disbelieve that this strong, violent young man wouldn't use that same powerful strength on YOU and me if we had something he wanted and we refused to give it to him.
Any fool knows if you act and ARE "anti-social", there's ALWAYS a "price-you'll-pay" for being that way... and the ONLY person to blame for deserving, getting and paying that "penalty" is that person looking BACK at you when you look in a mirror.
It's smart to hang around old guys 'cause they know lotsa stuff...

Being "unarmed" doesn't really matter so much when you're talking about a college football player vs an average sized middle aged man in a confrontation. What matters much more is precisely what happened. If the huge athlete attacked the cop, a reasonable person would be justified in fearing for life and limb, thus justifying deadly force. The point being that we need to know exactly what happened, and whether he had a knife or club or gun doesn't matter so very much when you're talking about a large athlete in his prime acting in a threatening manner. Allowing such a person to close on one could quickly turn deadly, and no one should reasonably be obliged to test his metal against such an attacker by means strictly of hand to hand skills.
How many of the recent headlines have emphasized "unarmed" black man. There is no such thing as unarmed when you are fighting the officer for the control of his weapon.

Excellent point!

FORT WORTH, Texas – A black college football player killed by a white police officer likely used a synthetic psychedelic drug and marijuana prior to the deadly confrontation at a Texas car dealership, according to an autopsy report released Wednesday.
Christian Taylor was unarmed when Arlington police officer Brad Miller shot him on Aug. 7. Miller has been fired.
The report shows there was THC, one of the active components of marijuana, and a synthetic drug that causes hallucinations in his system.
The autopsy also showed Taylor was shot four times, in the neck, torso and abdomen.
The 6-foot-tall, 19-year-old attended Angelo State University in San Angelo in West Texas, where he was to start his sophomore year on the team.
The Tarrant County district attorney has said it will bring a case against Miller, 49, to a grand jury. However, the Arlington police department has yet to hand over the case, according to spokeswoman Samantha Jordan.
Miller's attorney John Snider said he hoped that in light of this evidence, the Arlington police chief would reconsider his decision to fire Miller.
Security footage from the lot shows Taylor breaking out the windshield of a car on the lot and then driving his vehicle into the glass showroom. There is no video footage of the shooting itself.
Inside the showroom, Miller ordered Taylor to get to the ground. Instead, Taylor cursed at the officer and advanced toward him. The officer fired when Taylor was about 10 feet away, Arlington police chief Will Johnson said in a news conference last month.
Friends of Taylor said he had recently developed a zeal for his Christian faith. According to the autopsy report, he had biblical verses, an angel and a cross tattooed on his body.
