"It is not about punishment."

I’m not sure how you can possibly make that assertion. They disarmed him and then they shot him.

So you're saying you can show me a video where it's clear that the gun is in an LEO's physical possession, everyone involved clearly has time to update on this information, and someone makes an evidently conscious decision to shoot him anyway, despite him clearly no longer posing a physical threat?

Really?

Because otherwise, it is not about punishment.

It couldn't be any clearer, that is the weapon from the photos of the victim's gun. This changed my mind, the man was shot AFTER he was disarmed.

These are not the people who deserve benefit of the doubt. They have already amply demonstrated what they are capable of. Indeed, they even openly boast of it.

> conscious

Depends on how you define the word. But yes?

Their decision to escalate the situation in the first place is a clear indication of that.

> no longer posing a physical threat?

Can you show a video of the gun leaving its holster before that then? Or are you saying that merely possessing a firearm regardless of circumstances is grounds for an immediate execution?
