ANd it isn't "ok" to butcher an innocent black man. Nice inflamitory rhetoric BTW. Most impressive.

Now...to answer your other, pointless and meaningless questions, as has already been established Diallo was innocent and had commited no crime taht we know of. He "needed", and you'll notice I didn't say deserved, to be shot repeatedly because when you pull a gun on an armed suspect you do not shoot once.

Now, the question you didn't ask. Is 40 excessive? Maybe. However they did miss with 22 of those rounds, so he was only shot 19 - 20 times. Per officer that works out to roughly seven rounds each. You shoot to wound fleeing suspects who pose a continuing threat to the general populace. You shoot to kill when they are pulling a weapon on you. The reason? If you are alone, and fuck up by not eliminating him as a threat, and he kills you, the suspect gets away and you still have the threat loose on the streets.
