The police killed him because he was black. Even though he punched a deputy and dropped a gun during the encounter, he was clearly unarmed and did not deserve to be shot. They only shot him because of the hate they have in their hearts.
People have every right to be outraged over this incident. They should burn down the whole city and drive cars into businesses over this.
People in Los Angeles are already about to turn up in response to that police shooting of a Black man earlier..
