I'm not sure what incident you're describing in the former example but in the Castille incident you absolutely do not know for a fact that he was complying. You have two stories, diverging quite a bit, how do you know which one is correct?

Again, you don't know what happened in that incident. What you do know, for a fact, is that this kind of occurrence is extremely rare. So no, the "respect cops" excuse is not gone because if it you respond with respect you're going to be fine 99.999999% of the time. Sorry, something that happens so rarely, even assuming this case was a bad shoot, is not a national issue. Tragic for those involved, no doubt, but not a national issue.
