From all of the facts, video and eye-witness statements of this incident though...I don't believe deadly force was justified.
Then add the cops actions afterward and.... 
Since you seem to like yes/no questions though...I have one for you.
Feel free, as I have, to expand on just...the yes or no choice.
Do you believe that more blacks (percentage wise), especially young black men, are stereotyped/stopped/hassled/arrested...more often than young white men in the exact same circumstances?

Yes.
Do you not think that a lot of us wish that all young men of all ethnicities would not break laws? I can't see how it has anything to do with race or color or being poor. But then again, I have always been me. I try very hard to listen to the reasons things happen. Some of the reasons I am given seem like excuses. No matter how hard we try, sometimes, the reasons do not seem clear to many of us. What is so awful right now is having a lot of people we have never met or never harmed or ever wished harm to, dislike us a lot.
