based on how the woman was acting but it wasn't a sure thing.

Bottom line she didn't comply with the orders the police were giving her and she was shot.

They should have shot him. They would have shot a black guy who had a gun.

It makes the blue-line of racism even more odious. Merak Burr (Merak?) drives off and is arrested later. Duante Wright is murdered in the driver’s seat. White grey-beard hits cop in head with hammer and drives off, dragging the cop for a piece -- and is arrested later. Philando Castile, in full compliance with the murdering cop, is shot repeatedly and killed reaching for his registration at the murderers request.

The tendency appears to be to give the white guy the benefit of the doubt -- even when he smacks you in the head with a hammer! -- and to kill the black guy regardless his compliance with the murdering officer.
