In regards to your last point: I remember reading that there was one shooting stopped by a good guy with a gun. Then the cops showed up and killed him because he was armed.
You spelled "black" as armed. But otherwise right on the money.
John Hurley was not black

My bad. I distinctly remember ANOTHER case were a good (black) guy with a gun was immediately executed by police as they arrived on the scene. I believe he might have been an armed security guard, but I don't have the mental strength to look it up in detail right now. I'd have to wade through dozens of such articles to find the right one and I'm already depressed enough.
Arvada, Colorado. The good guy killed the bad guy who had just killed a cop. The good guy was standing near the cop's body with a gun when more cops came in and killed the good guy.
