Actually, we know exactly how cops would have responded to a naked black man who had NOT killed anyone:
Before the shooting [of the naked black man] someone in Hill's neighborhood called police to report a man was "acting deranged, knocking on doors, and crawling around on the ground naked," then-DeKalb County Police Chief Cedric Alexander said then.
Olsen was dispatched, and "when (Hill) saw the officer, he charged, running at the officer. The officer called him to stop while stepping backwards, drew his weapon and fired two shots," Alexander said.

Lest we think that case was a fluke, here’s another:
“Videos released by the Richmond Police Department showed a visibly disturbed Marcus-David Peters screaming and walking toward officer Michael Nyantakyi. He fired his Taser several times, but Peters kept charging. Seconds later, Nyantakyi fired two rounds from his firearm, striking Peters twice in the abdomen. Peters died later at a hospital.
“It was all said and done in 18 seconds, ladies and gentlemen. That’s fast.”

“Pollock said that she and Lewis were arguing at her front door while a woman was delivering food to her house. Pollock claimed that the delivery driver then began screaming for somebody to call 911.
. . .
“Edmond police officers who were searching the area spotted the teen jumping fences and running naked through a backyard.
Sgt. Milo Box and Officer Denton Scherman were in an unmarked police vehicle when they reported seeing Lewis break into an occupied house, about an hour after the first 911 call.
Authorities allege that both officers were “violently assaulted” after they followed Lewis into the house. The officers then deployed a Taser on Lewis “multiple times without effect,” police said. At least one officer then fired his handgun multiple times, striking Lewis.
Interesting comment from the last article:
“Joseph Godwin
i live 100 yards from the house where he was executed. A couple months back a white kid here in edmond killed both his parents and was armed when the cops engaged him. He's still alive, in prison or psych word. I've watched my white son in law drunkenly rush at several cops with a box cutter as they tried to apprehend him. they just threw him down, cuffed him, threw him in the drunk tank then was sent to rehab. But several cops couldn't handle a 17 year old naked unarmed kid?????? Did they think he had super powers? he was friends with my kids. he was a child of this community. he was harmless. but he was black. that's the only difference.”
