Or gotten nearly as much news coverage. Some twitter posts of this have really blown up.

I'd prefer that instead of heckling, you accept his opinion and move on because it doesn't affect you. How would you feel if everyone was teaming against you based on one idea you were trying to put across?
I don't agree that the government should not be allowed to kill, or that people's merit and criminal record should determine whether a death is justified, but there are some points he's made that I like.

It's just the mindset of the moment. Protesters will ignore every fact of the matter to say a black man was killed by police.
I heard a few weeks ago in my area a street was blocked by activists because a man was killed by cops... when he shot first.

leave when someone is committing a crime and threatening innocent people.
They could have just not shot things at him in the first place and waited him out. 28 minutes isn't a long time, maybe if they'd just chilled out a bit then he would have calmed down too. It seems like there was a bunch of them so it's not like he was going anywhere.

Age appropriate sidearms should be part of the school uniform. However, for most of a student’s lifecycle such sidearms are ineffective against a full grown man, let alone one with body armor. Before mid-late puberty most boys are simply incapable of reliably controlling a full size handgun loaded with full power ammunition.

Full size handgun is an arbitrary statement. I have a 1911 for instance that fires 22lr. It is the exact same size as a 1911 chambered for 45. Those 22lr rounds will kill a grown man easily. Won't penetrate a vest (depending on the bullet) but that shouldn't render it useless as a vest only covers the chest.
Regardless giving kids sidearms is a terribad idea.
Back on topic; I dont see why the news is going out of their way to classify the deceased as African American. They dont say if he was a father, had a job, or anything relevant. Apparently race is their chief concern.

Because a .22 LR bullet is less powerful than larger cartridges, its danger to humans is often underestimated. In fact, a .22 LR bullet is easily capable of killing or injuring humans. Even after flying 400 yards (370 m), a .22 bullet is still traveling about 500 ft/s (150 m/s). Ricochets are more common in .22 LR projectiles than for more powerful cartridges as the combination of unjacketed lead and moderate velocities allows the projectile to deflect – not penetrate or disintegrate – when hitting hard objects at a glancing angle. A .22 LR bullet can ricochet off the surface of water at a low angle of aim. Severe injury may result to a person or object in the line of fire on the opposite shore, several hundred yards away. A .22 LR bullet is capable of traveling 2,000 yards (1,800 m), which is more than 1 mile (1.6 km).
