It seems to me that people are quick to judge the police because this is not the first time something like this has happened. There are countless recorded incidents of police "accidentally" shooting unarmed criminals. USA cops have a pretty long history of corruption and brutality. Thats not to say that the police as a whole are worthy of scorn and other generally nasty thoughts, but stuff like this is common enough to elicit a knee-jerk anti-copper reactions.
And as they say: "fuck the pigs"
