 I mean if this is a cop who just panicked, you're right, he's unfit for the job. But that's an assumption at this stage. When cops shoot black people, I'm the first to argue that maybe that individual was behaving in a way where it was a serious risk, and that maybe he wasn't shot because of the colour of his skin. In some cases I'm wrong, and perhaps I am here.  
 
It's not that "they're not supposed to be here". Trespass doesn't warrant a bullet to the neck. The cop is only justified if he felt he, or those he was protecting, were in danger, and that he had no other option. I can't say that isn't the case. Can you?
