There are a number of scenarios where this could be true. For instance, the Kyle kid might not have been posing a threat when they went to arrest him, where Jacob Blake was. We simply don't yet know.
We do know they weren't justified in shooting the Kyle kid because they took him into custody without incident. So by definition, he did not need to be shot. On the other hand, we don't know the what happened in the Jacob Blake situation yet.
There isn't a lot of value in analyzing the two cases together. Whatever good or bad happened in each situation, we can determine that independently of the events in the other situation.
