Let's get to the actual case and let the officer defend himself(and the prosecutor present his case against) before we make up our minds.

I might be more apt to believe the officer if he'd actually attempted to defend himself, shown his face anywhere at all, or at the very least
filed an incident report about an altercation in which a man ended up dead.
As it is, we've heard from some "friend" of his that wasn't even present at the moment of the shooting, and not a single peep out of the officer responsible for the shooting.

And this sums it up completely. I have a hard time believing that a trained officer can't stop an unarmed man without 10 shots, 6 of which connected. He may or may not be racist, he may or may not be a murderer, but he almost definitely used excessive force on an unarmed man, and that is a major issue with police in this country; if nothing else, hopefully this will draw some attention to the issue.
