Actually, you shouldn't be shooting at all. Police officers have other methods of subduing unarmed suspects. It's called use of force continuum.
And that's even accepting their version of events, which has been contradicted by every single witness (whose accounts are notoriously unreliable, but still...).

Check your privilege. If you think it's that simple, you're either bigoted or absolutely clueless what it's like out there. People didn't just make up things like "driving while black" for the fun of it.
