Then isn't it very, very important to stress that this "discernment" is tragically and immensely wrong? Which you are not doing--in fact, you're implying the opposite?

How the heck could so many black men end up in prison if they rarely survive encounters with police (and the police total kill ~300-400 black people per year)?

And why are you making a comparison to Crimo, who did briefly flee in his vehicle, but when he stopped slowly got out of the vehicle with his hands over his head in the broad daylight, and lay down on the ground?

The better comparison is to Matthew Scott Jones (who was white)--also acting erratically, obviously had a weapon (but after shots fired, Jayland was rightly presumed to have a weapon), and...was shot by police a whole bunch of times, including after he'd fallen and was motionless.

There certainly are problems with police violence against black people. But your take is deeply problematic.
