The killer was an asshole who wanted to play cops and robbers.
Yep, it’s fucked, and I think the prosecutor should focus on that. A family lost a son, two teens witnessed a friend cut down beside them in cold blood in broad daylight, and another poor confused innocent child would have had to call mom to get them from tkd because his dad was arrested for murdering a kid.
I expect he wouldn’t have drawn as readily on an old white guy or a white woman with the same bb gun, as they wouldn’t fit his preconceived notion of a nefarious persona.
The prosecutor claiming some bullshit about specialist training being required to prevent crime is absolutely unnecessary and only promotes an agenda. Any reasonable person seeing this situation can see that the problem is the guy is unhinged and committed a murder, not that he lacked some supposed magical training that somehow still results in cops killing innocent people including kids.

You specified “reasonable people”.

He saw a kid with a gun and jumped to the conclusion that the kid was going to rob the store. Would he have instantly killed an old white guy carrying the same gun?
