*pop pop-pop pop pop*
The group of storm troopers mow him down not knowing who short first or even why they shot "everyone just started shooting"..
Ten minutes latter "uh, I thought he was going for a gun".
Happens a lot quite frankly. Pigs get all pumped up, one gets startled and they all dump their magazines.

And for MOST of this, I agree with you, with the exception of this being (perhaps the only one) the time where - if they legitimately thought this was the guy - they had reason to believe he was armed. Now, if they were just randomly approaching any black dude in the area and harassing, then yes, I am with you 100%.
Unfortunate case of wrong place/wrong time, which will turn into a muddled mess of he-said/she-said and eventually end in the screwjob of the victim.
