[Re: “negro cop is charged with murder for shooting 12-year-old White boy dead while he lay on the ground after he 'fired gun into unmarked police car.’”]

The huge difference between this case and Lyoya/Schurr follows: Lyoya was fighting to get Officer Schurr's taser—right down to the last moment.
Officer Schurr said, “Let go of the taser,” just before he shot Lyoya. If that isn’t self-defense, I don’t know what is.
One example: What’s the difference between Lyoya attempting to take Schurr’s taser and a negro—after a standoff—coming out of the house—with a knife, walking toward police.
“Drop the weapon,” the cops say repeatedly, but the negro doesn’t. He gets shot dead. I’ve never seen cops charged in that instance.
[N.S. Unfortunately, I have. Laquan MacDonald was within striking distance of killing White officer Jason Van Dyke with a knife. Officer Van Dyke repeatedly ordered MacDonald to drop the knife, but the perp ignored the officer, and kept on coming. Officer Van Dyke shot the perp dead, was charged with murder, convicted and imprisoned. He has since been released, but so what?]
Lyoya was attempting to arm himself—he was resisting arrest.
There SHOULD be no charges.

McDonald had the knife in hand and was walking away from the cops. High on drugs. Had previously slashed the tires of the cop cars and tried to stab the cops through the winder glass. The man was obviously a danger to anyone he might have encountered. The Supreme Court standard is that a policeman if he deems a fleeing felon as a further danger to society the cop can use lethal force.
YES, fighting to gain control of the taser would be grounds to shoot. Especially during a struggle. Those tasers do greatly resemble a holstered handgun.

Bizarre.
To review the undisputed facts of the case: the deceased (Lyoya) was prone on the ground (face down, for those who don't know what prone means), with the cop on top of him -- the cop obviously had full control of his service weapon, because he was able to use it to shoot Lyoya in the back of the head.
Everything considered, I have trouble imagining this being deemed justifiable use of deadly force.
Until one day you find yourself in a position like that.
