Frankly I haven't seen anything that proves he wasn't defending himself. He was exercising bad judgment and may have been prejudiced in his profiling, but that isn't a crime. It's just an all around sad situation which has hit nerves with a lot of people. Hopefully no one else gets hurt as a result of public reaction to this case.
