Was this justified?  I don't know, because I can hardly see what's going on.

Also, being homeless is apparently a crime.

I really can't tell what's going on either. I do see that it took 4 cops to subdue one homeless guy, and then I guess one of them shot the homeless man while he was on the ground?

Can someone clarify what is going on here?

apparently the hobo managed to snatch a gun from one of the cops during the struggle, and they shot him after telling him to drop it but he didn't.

Ok. Sounds justified to me, if that's the case.

He might even have been the one firing the first shot

Dislike these videos. They always have fuck all context and barely show what's going on, so your initial response is largely tailored to how you feel about the subject and not based on what actually happened.

If he wasn't so lazy, the homeless guy would have had a job and not been in this situation.

Exactly, so these always go viral on anti-cop sites/pages and yet no one has any idea wtf is happening.

That's because it is a crime.  It isn't generally a capital offense, however.
