This is perhaps the least surprising resolution to a police investigation in recent memory:

The officer, a seven-year veteran, recognized Mr. Clemmons “immediately,” Mr. Diaz said, and noticed that the suspect was trying to pull something from one of his pockets. He ordered Mr. Clemmons to put his hands up, but he refused and began to move away from the officer. The officer shot at least twice, Mr. Diaz said. Mr. Clemmons was pronounced dead at the scene.

I remember as soon as I read about those four policemen shot dead in Washington, I thought to myself – whoever the suspect turns out to be, they sure as hell aren’t going to be brought into the station in handcuffs. Ah well. Whatever noise we want to make about due process, this is more or less par for the course in any conflict between groups of armed thugs.
