It takes a micro second to bring your hands up into a firing position. If a cop hesitates long enough to see whats in the perps hands he could very well be a dead cop.

If a cop is so situationaly unaware and can't tell the difference between a vape rig and a firearm he should not be a cop.
You can return to rationalizing now.

'Suicide by cop'...

Demands for police accountability grow loud across U.S. as infuriated El Cajon community protests Olango’s death
Thursday 29th September, 2016 - The shooting of yet another black man by the police, this time in California has led to more protests and demands for accountability of the police department. The 38-year-old black man, now identified as Alfred Okwera Olango, was fatally shot by a police officer near a strip mall in a San Diego suburb in southern California on Tuesday.

Soon after the incident, the El Cajon Police Department issued a statement that said two of its officers responded to a call that a man was walking through the traffic "erratically" at about 2 pm PDT. The man refused to pull out his hands from his pockets when ordered by the officers and instead pointed an object at them, holding it in an apparent "shooting stance.” In response, one of the officers tried to taser the man, while the other officer shot at him. The man was taken to hospital where he succumbed to his wounds. Chief Jeff Davis of the police department had said no weapon was found at the scene. The El Cajon Police, on Wednesday said that Olango had pulled out a vape smoking device from his pocket and pointed it at police, leading to the shooting.

The police said that they were examining an alleged video footage of the incident that was posted on social media soon after the incident, which included a byte of a woman who claimed to be the man's sister. In the video she is heard telling the police, "Oh my God. You killed my brother. I just called for help and ... you killed him." El Cajon police do not yet wear body cameras. Police said a woman bystander had voluntarily provided investigators cellphone footage of the shooting. They released a still image from the video to dispute claims that the man was shot despite his arms being raised. The image showed two unidentified officers with their guns drawn and a black man pointing an object at them. One of the officers in the picture appeared to be white.

It was later revealed that the footage was captured on a mobile phone video from the drive-through at the Los Panchos restaurant and that the restaurant worker voluntarily turned over the phone. The police have said they would release the video subsequently. The restaurant's manager told the local media that the video shows Olango refusing to remove his hands from his side. Reports also quoted Maria, an employee at Los Panchos in El Cajon who said that police came into the restaurant and took all cell phones from employees after the shooting; they told employees not to talk to anyone. The restaurant was placed under lock down. This prompted the San Diego branch of the American Civil Liberties Union to issue a statement saying that “by seizing phones, police would likely be preventing the dissemination of video captured by bystanders.”

The El Cajon Police Department strongly refuted these claims saying that a phone that contained video footage had been volunteered by a witness, and that no phones had been confiscated. On increasing demands by protesters who poured out into the streets for a second day in a row, El Cajon Police spokesman Rob Ransweiler said, “I have the information. It’s an ongoing investigation, so I’m not releasing details of the investigation.” The two officers were placed on administrative leave, which is standard policy in such cases.

Meanwhile as news of the shooting spread, several people, mostly blacks, gathered at the site and chanted slogans "black lives matter!" and "hands up, don't shoot!" The district attorney also visited the incident site and will investigate the shooting. The incident comes close on the heels of shootings of black men in Charlotte, North Carolina, and in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which sparked angry protests and forced authorities to impose emergency in Charlotte. A study released in July shows police used force on black people at a rate more than three times higher than on whites.

Fatal Shooting by Police Sparks Protests
September 28, 2016 - El Cajon police said that officers shot and killed a black man after he raised both hands clasping an object and appeared as if he was holding a gun.

El Cajon police said Tuesday evening that officers shot and killed an African American man earlier in the day after he raised both hands clasping an object in a manner that looked as if he was holding a gun. "The subject has passed away as a result of his injuries," El Cajon police said in a statement. The man has not been formally identified. Chief Jeff Davis said a video taken by a bystander showed the incident but that the department declined to release it at this time. He also declined to identify the object. Davis said the man refused multiple instructions from an officer and "concealed his hands in his pockets." He said the man "drew an object from his front pants pockets, placed both hands together on it and extended toward the officers."

One officer fired a Taser and another fired rounds from his handgun. No weapon was recovered at the scene. The shooting sparked protests in the San Diego County city, with friends of the man's family saying he suffers from a mental illness and did not pose a threat to the officers. The man, who was believed to be age 30, was taken to a hospital with unspecified injuries. A crowd of about 30 people gathered at the shooting scene. By the evening, the crowd grew to about 100 people, including community leaders and members of local churches. Most of the demonstrators voiced concerns that the shooting was racially motivated. The El Cajon violence comes amid growing national debate over police shootings of African Americans. Charlotte was rocked by days of protests last week after police fatally shot 43-year-old Keith Lamont Scott.

Police received three calls about a man acting "erratically" near a strip mall on Broadway near Mollison Avenue shortly after 2 p.m., El Cajon police Lt. Rob Ransweiler said. One caller told them the man was walking in traffic, he said. Officers said the man refused to follow their orders, spurring a confrontation that led to at least one officer opening fire outside the apartment building adjacent to the strip mall. Officers provided first aid until paramedics arrived and took the man to a hospital. On Twitter, the department disputed some of the claims made by protesters: "The investigation just started, but based on the video voluntarily provided by a witness, the subject did NOT have his hands up in the air."

Michael Ray Rodriguez said he was driving away from the apartment building when he saw a shirtless black man with his hands in the air. In a matter of seconds, he said, an officer opened fire. The officer "shot him again and again," Rodriguez said, adding he heard five shots. El Cajon police officers are not equipped with body-worn cameras. The department recently completed a pilot program to test the cameras and ordered some. The equipment has not been delivered, Ransweiler said. He said a witness voluntarily turned over a cellphone that contains video of the shooting. The district attorney's office and the El Cajon Police Department are investigating.

Turns out the guy was a felon that the feds had repeatedly try to deport to his native Uganda.
It's amazing the people that the left will protest and burn things over.

Link?

Olango arrived as a refugee in 1991 and was twice ordered deported because of a 2001 conviction for selling cocaine, U.S. immigration authorities said.

But he was released from detention after his native Uganda refused to take him. A U.S. Supreme Court ruling bars detention of foreign nationals after six months if deportation is unlikely.

Immigration authorities took Olango into custody in 2009 after he served nearly four years for a federal firearms conviction in Colorado but were again unable to obtain travel documents.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Olango stopped reporting to officers in February 2015. Spokeswoman Virginia Kice did not know if officers tried to find him after that.

And even though the man clearly responded to the police in a shooting crouch pointing something at police, the community won't accept the truth.
