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.

The kid wasn't even old enough to be carrying that gun. They didn't even check to see if anyone of those white guys were legal gun owners or if the were just some nuts playing Rambo. It was because they were white.
Interesting side note the ONLY time the N.R.A ever supported a assault rifle ban was when the Blqck Panthers did it in 1967 . They were legal gun owners that were lawfully following open carry laws. They then endored the passing of the Mulford Act in 1967 after the Black panthers protested police violence while open carrying. They passed the Mulford act because they didn't feel comfortable with Black people having the same gun rights as whites so California just banned open carry out right because they couldn't just bann Black people.
