Seems justified to me. There's no way of telling a fake gun from a real one at a distance and if you point it at the police when they're telling you to drop it, that's just asking to get shot.
Agreed, except these officers were off duty and probably had no bodycams and so now we need to take their word on what happened.
The police have not inspired confidence in their honesty over their history.
The article states that it was caught on surveillance camera.
