Even some who say he shouldn't have run have noted they assaulted him first. We have the 2nd Amendment in part to protect us from the government. No?
He was never assaulted, he was questioned. He had something to hide so he resisted and paid for his resistance with his life.
Stop trying to defend his un-defensible actions, he was 100% in the wrong, the police were 100% in the right.
Reports say the victim didn't have a gun permit but was wearing a gun in public.
That's like asking for trouble. Who does that?
Simply put your hands up and let it go from there. Had he done that, it's likely that he'd be alive today. Perhaps in jail, but alive.
No one knew he didn't have a permit. (If indeed he didn't) which means he can tell them to bugger off as they had no reason to ask for it.

Because it doesn't. They would then spend every working moment checking permits or wasting their time.
Illinois law states during an investigation of an illegal action. Walking down the street is not.
