P.S. for all those in this topic asserting that "ACAB," I broached this incident with a fellow supervisor at work today. He's an older guy who used to be a cop for decades, known for being very non-PC and just speaking his mind.

He actually doesn't agree with the cops on this one. His immediate response to me was "they Swiss cheese'd the poor bastard," then went on to say that you don't shoot an unarmed person in the back, and that 90 bullets was overkill.

When I mentioned that the suspect apparently turned back toward them and made a motion with his hands as if to grab a weapon, he responded sarcastically "yeah, I bet he did," basically implying that's just a line the cops will use to defend themselves.

Now, I don't necessarily agree with his point of view. I'm just posting this to let you know that there are in fact police officers who share your antipathy toward incidents such as this. ACAB is bullshit.
