Seems like Kentucky is outside of BLM range :(. How did national news media miss this?

This just happened this month, and somehow went into the dumps. I only found this while randomly browsing wikipedia, and clicking on a source link.
US Marshal kills 25 year old African American, that witnesses claim was not armed, in Kentucky.

Family, neighbors demand answers after U.S. Marshal shoots, kills 25-year-old man

It's still unclear what exactly led up to the shooting, but Louisville Police said its Public Integrity Unit is investigating the incident.

Louisville Metro Police Chief Erika Shields said during a Monday evening press conference that Cryer was in possession of a gun when he was shot after a foot chase Friday, but she would not say if he pulled the weapon on law enforcement. "He fled from an apartment," she said. "There was a brief foot pursuit. They ran upon a fence, subsequently the marshals opened fire, striking Mr. Cryer." On Tuesday, Shields told Metro Council members during a budget hearing that Cryer was shot twice in the front of his body.

But he never took his weapon out, nor did they state they knew before hand he had a weapond.

LMPD do wear body cameras. I don’t know if the Marshals have that policy.

That isn’t what you posted here:

As I posted, LMPD Chief of Police said he did have a gun. I watched that news conference.

FWIW… this thread title is bullshit. You’re an absolute moron if you actually believe that.

Given the Taylor shooting and protests, Kentucky is not outside BLM range.

Marshal service does not wear body cams.

The footage first shows officers running after Cryer through an alley on nearby Sutcliffe Avenue. In one version of the video, slowed down and highlighted by LMPD, it shows Cryer pull a gun from his waistband before he jumps a fence. After someone is heard saying “Drop the gun!” is when the deputy U.S. Marshal fires two rounds and hits Cryer in the front. Detectives and deputies in the area try to help Cryer but he died at the scene. No other officers fired their weapons in the video. Due to the nature of the video, you can watch it on LMPD’s Youtube.

Watched the footage. This is why bodycams need to be required in all 50 states and disabling it a felony.

Based on the warrant as described I don't have a problem with the shoot absent additional evidence.
