Even closer...
Yeah, he screwed up the most. He resisted arrest, the bastard! Whereas all the poor copper did was pull out a gun and shoot an unarmed man in the back. Obviously the former is a much bigger screwup than the latter.

The man that resisted arrest was the bigger idiot. Sorry, that's just my bias opinion I suppose. Had he not resisted and gone peacefully, then he'd most likely be alive today. Sure the Officer screwed up but the man should not have resisted like that.
Officers have to make a very quick decisions in those situations and it's usually a thought of "him or me". I'm a police officer myself and my line of thought is "I want to go home at the end of my shift". I'm not taking chances with any knuckleheads that want to resist arrest. It's a good thing I know where my zapper is!
Besides, most smart people would rather be judged by 12 then carried by 6.
