Looks like suicide by cop, but what the heck, any excuse for a riot.
Quote:
When officers arrived on scene and located the man, Davis said, he “refused multiple instructions by the first officer on the scene,” and put his hands in his pants pocket.
At one point during the incident, Davis said, the suspect pulled an object from his pants pocket.
"At one point the male rapidly drew an object from his front pants pocket, placed both hands together on it, and extended it rapidly toward the officer taking what appeared to be a shooting stance putting the object in the officer's face,” Davis said.
CNN has a blurry photo (video still?) of the man in a shooting stance. He apparently didn't have a weapon, but it looks like a justified shooting to me.

They were just talking about it on CNN and Chris Cuomo and the law enforcement analyst (retired NYC cop?) both said this was far from a "furtive" move, this was an obvious, intentional move to provoke the police into firing.
