Last week, Adam Toledo dropped the gun and raised his hands and was shot anyway. One of the excuses given by several people here that time was that he dropped the gun and put up his hands too fast.
This man was not shot because he didn't drop the phone in his hand. He was shot because a trigger happy cop shot him because he saw him as a threat - something that tends to happen to Black people far more than it happens to white people.
And, fyi - claiming that you're waiting for an investigation to be complete before passing judgment and then listing all the reasons you think the cop was justified and that it was this young man's fault that he got shot is not an objective or open-minded approach. You clearly picked a side and you're sticking with it.
