He didn't arm a black gentleman. He killed him. A Black would be charged with murder.

On Oct. 5, a Cook County Circuit Court jury found Van Dyke guilty on charges of second-degree murder and 16 counts of aggravated battery with a firearm stemming from the 2014 incident in which the former officer fired 16 shots at 17-year-old Laquan McDonald in a span of 15 seconds.
Video released of the Oct. 20, 2014, shooting showed McDonald was armed with a knife but the teen didn't appear to be moving toward the police officers who responded when Van Dyke opened fire.
During his trial, Van Dyke testified that he believed McDonald was coming at him with a knife.

Who do you believe, a video or a person under trial for murder? Even so 16 bullets is excessive.
