Any black person facing an armed cop should fear for their life - can they justifiably kill the cop

Unless they are black in which case the cops will kill them

That is pretty disgusting, whilst I understand that adrenalin levels will be high with police responding this clearly shows a lack of assessment as to what they were confronting on behalf of the police.
That said, I can also imagine cops crapping their panties and seeing a gun sending them into survival mode but that is no excuse one would think if they saw the guy with the gun holding down a suspect.
Did the cop think he was a criminal holding a gun to the head of a suspect? And is that why he fired?
Wutang old bean, we will never know --we were not there.
That said, I do think American Cops need to study this incident hard and get training against racial profiling more than they do at present.

The biggest problem with American police training, is that fear is taught in the academy, and constantly repeated by the system they operate in. Couple that with American police seeing some nasty fuckers and some heart wrenching scenes, and they are literally acting as if they are in a war zone, and the American people are the enemy.
Most suffer from a some amount of PTSD, and instead of getting them to dial it back, their "associates" use it to amp them up even more. Then there is the misconception by our illustrious leader, that there is a "war on cops". There isn't. You have been in a war zone, I think. You can't stay in that zone at that level of readiness, looking at everyone as a potential threat, for years on end. A level of paranoia takes over.
Then there are just some sick bastards. I think the guy that shot Daniel Shaver falls into that category.
