From our view, it seems fairly obvious that you shouldn't whip a gun out with police tailing you. And that's another thing that the police have against them if (when?) they get a trial- it's their word against his since possibly no one else saw or hear anything, leading them to probably be freed on no jail time or probation or anything. Police bullet in the radio would suggest that: the police officers shot at each other (lol) or a bullet ricocheted off something and still had enough kinetic energy to pierce the radio. Also possible dead guy was using a police issued weapon/bullets, not too hard to do that either.
Then there's movie logic where they'd much rather die than become dead at the hand of something larger than them (like a cocaine ring or something).
All true/possible, but this guy had four kids, and his neighbors/family all vouch for him being a pretty good guy. I mean obviously he was a criminal, but that's not always synonymous with being a bad person in this day and age, people are often forced to make decisions that don't have any obvious right choices. Plus, wasn't it said earlier that his gun wasn't police issue? Iirc it was a gun that shot blanks but was modified to shoot live rounds. I'm reaching the point where I don't want to believe the media on principle, I've seen the way they can twist things out of control immediately following an incident, and its nothing short of RIDICULOUS in some cases. I don't think we'll really know anything for a long while. Not to mention it was said that the inquest could take MONTHS before anything is definitively decided.
