Ok, so this is tragic, I get that. But from what I read, he was accidentally shot as they were engaging someone else. There is nothing in the article (unless I've missed it) that suggests he was targeted, but instead he was collateral damage.

"After ordering the suspect to drop the knife multiple times, police discharged their firearms striking the armed individual. The 47-year-old male was pronounced dead," a police source said.

The man was named as Francisco Carvajal.

Police said the 51-year-old man, who also entered the apartment, "sustained trauma to the torso during the incident" and was pronounced dead at hospital.

Nothing indicates that they targeted him intentionally. As written, the data suggests it could have been an accident.

So what was the value of the race-baiting comments in the last two paragraphs of the article? Which stink-pot is the author trying to stir up unnecessarily?

Monday's incident came just over two months after a black father of six suffered a fatal heart attack after New York police officers on Staten Island used an illegal choke hold to subdue him.

On August 9, officers in Ferguson, Missouri shot dead an unarmed black teenager, sparking protests and reigniting fierce national debate about relations between police and African Americans and police tactics.

Assuming that he's just collateral damage, that is tragic indeed. But there is no need to blow it larger, just to support your own agenda. Disgusting, if you ask me.
