Bad patterns of behaviour are irrelevant. Each interaction with cops is unique on it's own. If an all-around angel pulls a gun on a cop and gets shot, it doesn't matter how much of an angel he was. If someone with a criminal record the size of the state of Texas poses no lethal threat and gets shot by a cop while he's walking away, it doesn't matter how much of a criminal he was.

well, you say that but I distinctly remember that literally EVERY news media outlet ran the OJ hotel robbery conviction story with the "finally, the pos got
what he deserves" angle.
Not a single one of them ran that story without mentioning the you know what.
Having said all that, I do agree with you that it shouldn't matter.
