And?

I have no problem with that. He had a gun and was a threat to others and had already threatened to use it on a civilian.

Cop shoots cop on bike thinking he was a thief, would have been more sensational journalism.

Yes, we're a deadly breed with a desire to see deadlier sharks.

If the thief weren't armed and the cop had just brazenly shot him for stealing the motor bike it might have elicited a more positive (well, to reporting about it) response. Instead it's a justified shooting of an armed robber who may have killed others to escape. There's nothing controversial or unjustified from the report.

Looking at the comments, apparently he didn't die.

He did die a few hours later.
