And what responsibility does the suspect have to listen and follow the police officers orders, regardless of whether he is doing something wrong or not?
The police officer said in an interview "his actions determined my actions."
That said, I'm a very big believer that since police officers have greater freedom of action (than the rest of us) they must be held to a higher level of responsibility and accountability (than the rest of us). Their decision making needs to be evaluated at a higher level, where there is a lower margin or acceptance for making mistakes. That's the only way to preserve their position of authority. If they are allowed to make mistakes (where the consequences are so great...death) but are tried based on the same standards as the rest of us it (indirectly) supports a police culture of shoot-first when a threat is perceived.
Police officers need to be willing to get shot at first before they decide to respond with lethal force. This is probably the bottom line for me, this is the test that needs to be applied in determining who's right vs. wrong...for me.
