Quick question...how did the cops declare this an unjust shooting before the toxicology report came back?
What would be in the toxicology report that would change the circumstances?
If he was stoned, it would be ok to shoot him after tasing him?

Taser apparently was, "unsuccessful."
"As the officers got out of their car, “Mr. Ferrell immediately ran toward the officers,” according to a police statement. It said Ferrell moved toward Kerrick.
Little fired his Taser, but police said it was unsuccessful.
Police said Kerrick fired “several” rounds, striking Ferrell “multiple times.” He died at the scene."
WTF does, "unsuccessful" mean? did it misfire, or did it fire but not stop the man running towards the police officer?
Then there was this quote:
"He started “banging on the door viciously,” according to Monroe."
Why couldn't he have just knocked quietly at 2am? And where was his Obushma phone? And who RUNS towards police officers?
The NAACP is getting involved and the lawyer for Mr. Ferrell's family is questioning the behavior of the officer and the homeowner who called police. No word yet on whether the NAACP will be questioning the behavior of Mr. Ferrell, but word is that there won't be some sort of seminar on how to be quiet, respectful, and polite while out in public, while knocking on someone's door at 2am, or while approaching anyone with a gun.
