Yes he had a criminal record and had spent time in jail, did you know that 30% of the people in the US have a police record for something other than a traffic offense? https://outline.com/qTA3BK

I hope you are not inferring that everyone who has been arrested deserves to have a target on their chest.
Was he an animal with no ability to make decisions? Did he have no other options than to smash windows and make trouble? Did he learn anything from his prior involvement with the law?

Did Jesse James know the price of his actions? He, like Stephon Clark, made his choices. Live by the sword....

I have no idea why he broke a window, I am not even 100% sure it was him, the helicopter saw someone break the sliding glass door, but waited to start video taping it? You can't ID a suspect with infrared video. But assume he did..that does not warrant a death sentence, at least not in the United States.

He was shot in the back. Were they afraid he was holding a gun backwards over his head ready to shoot?

Gimme a break. There's a reason they cut the audio. Stop and think.

As for the rest of your post - thank God we live in a country where the laws don't mean what you think they do and police aren't tasked with what you think they are. What a dope.
I'm an extremely liberal Democrat but here the cops are right. Should the police do nothing and be shot at if he did have a weapon?

Problem is people don’t put themselves in situation of the cop .

In reality if they were a cop in the same situation they would do the same thing.

That said.
It's much easier to be shot by the police when you act like a lunatic and go around destroying private property.
Suicide by cop? At any rate, Darwin got a win, society is better off, and the cops who did the shooting need to be investigated by a Federal police agency.
Posted, then deleted it from here (link). Since it's on CU I thought that might be a TOS violation.

I'm one leftist extremist who admits that sometimes criminals are wrong and police are right.

The cops had cover, they could have stayed there and given the guy directions on where to go and what to do while remaining safe, they chose not to.
