He was Guity anyway:
"Dorchester man wielding sharpened stick shot by police" by John R. Ellement, Laura Crimaldi and Martin Finucane, Globe Staff February 27, 2015
A Dorchester man was shot once in the leg by a Boston police officer Thursday night after he allegedly assaulted a neighbor with a sharpened wooden stick, jabbed the officer in the stomach with the stick, and tried to hit the officer a second time, Boston police said.
Edwin Guity, 22, was critically wounded in the incident that began near his home on Howe Terrace around 11:30 p.m. Thursday and came to an end around the corner on Howe Street, according to police and area residents.
The officer who fired the single shot is a 10-year veteran who had not used his service weapon before and has no disciplinary record, said Boston Police Commissioner William Evans. The commissioner, who declined to identify the officer, said the officer is white and Guity is African-American.
If I come across any protests I'll be sure to link them.
A woman who came to the door at what police said was Guity’s home on Howe Terrace declined to comment.
Evans said police had interacted with Guity in the past because of “assaultive and emotionally disturbed behavior.’’ According to Boston police, officers had responded to Guity’s home four times since 2013, but each time no arrest was made.
In one of those incidents, last April 27, Guity was taken to Boston Medical Center by an ambulance for a mental health evaluation, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the case.
While in the emergency room at the hospital, Guity allegedly attacked a male patient who was walking by him around 3:30 a.m. on April 28. A nurse who witnessed the incident told Boston Medical Center police that Guity attacked at random and without provocation, according to court records.
“Once both parties were completely separate, it was determined by medical staff that Guity would be placed into a four-point medical soft restraint on his stomach in a hospital bed,’’ Boston Medical Center police wrote in a report filed in court.
Hospital police later applied for a criminal complaint against Guity....
At least he wasn't sent to Bridgewater.

Hey, depopulating the planet one person at a time ain't beanbag!
My impression of authority and their ma$$ media mouthpieces towards most of these, if not all, shootings is the attitude that whoever the victim is they deserved it.
