He shouldn’t have been killed by the police, he should have been killed by that woman’s family 10 years ago.

sure, you point a gun at another person, you should expect to die. That's fair. But he wasn't killed back then and it doesn't give the police license to do what they did, 10 years later

I don't think anyone here is worshipping him as a martyr. He shouldn't be held up as an example of anything. But it is still possible to acknowledge that his death, wholly unconnected with his reprehensible actions 10 years ago, was due to overly aggressive police tactics/brutality. The Minneapolis PD is sketchy AF
