UPDATE BELOW
Guy gets shot dead by the police - hit 60 times.
Missing from the news reports is that he failed to pull over for a trafic stop, he initiated a high-speed chase, he fired his gun at the police officers in pursuit. When stopped, he ran wearing a ski-mask. Officers tried to stop him. Tried to detain him with tasers. He turned towards the officers. The officers opened fire.
He could have simply pulled over when initially stopped. He could have exited the vehicle and laid face down on the street after the chase. His own damned fault if you ask me but the police are going to be blamed for overreacting even though they were fired on.

We have not gotten into his social media or prior arrest or a tox screen on his body. A tragic death but it was his fault. His actions were not those of a choirboy.
UPDATE:
Read elsewhere that his wife had died in a car accident one month prior. There was a wedding ring in the car.
A conscious choice - suicide by cop?
