Bottom line? If you don't assault a cop, then you don't get shot.

This site is slow. I edited my post to more clearly present my point. You responded more quickly than I could edit.

The alleged robbery is a red herring however you present it. The officer was not responding to a robbery report. He was rousting a young man for jaywalking.
