Good point, all Americans were wronged, but this man was the one who paid for it... with his life. And he was carving, something of his "culture" , which ultimately caused him to be shot and murdered.

In this case the line between tool and weapon was very clear and, according to the evidence available to us, it is clear that he didn't cross it. He did not have it coming.
The seattle girl had her hands on the cop before he used force, she crossed the line and force was a legitimate option
