Not sure which he's referring to, but one of the big issues I have with this is the fact that he was able to create the situation by confronting someone while armed, and then when he had the tables turned on him he's allowed to use his gun and justify it as self defense. Self defense, at least as a justification for homicide, should go out the window when you actively pursue a confrontation, especially when you've been explicitly instructed by the police to not do so.
