Family of man fatally shot by Chicago cop files wrongful death lawsuit against city

What relevance does this have to the shooting? Did the cop know of his long record before the ensuing chase? Does it somehow justify it?
It's relevant because i get a kick out of the bleeding hearts for people like that.
Gets tiring hearing the outcry for criminals who spent their entire lives hurting people, stealing, raping, murdering, and so on, only to beg for justice and money when something happens to them. Where is that justice and payout for all their victims? All we hear on the news about cops are stories like this, and it always turns out the person involved is a complete shitbag who got a taste of his own medicine. Publicly releasing stories like this is just another media ploy to piss people off and cause more of a divide.
As a civilian, thats my opinion. As a police officer, i certainly would not have handled it the way this guy did if he didn't have a gun in his hand. But i'm not going to lose sleep over it either.
There’s a second video in the article, where you can hear 4 gunshots.
He a good boy!
Granton had two convictions for robbery and theft and several arrests on suspicion of trespassing and drug possession. His last arrest was in 2016, records show.
But his family said that with the birth of two daughters in recent years, Granton had put his criminal behavior in the past.

At the end of the day, this guy did play a stupid game and therefore won his stupid prize.
The shooting doesn't seem justified to me based on the limited knowledge we've been given, and the police/city will have to deal with that, but it doesn't change the fact that this guy put himself in this lousy situation.
If I were the judge, I'd fire the cop and bar him from being a law enforcement officer going forward and then I'd throw out the lawsuit.

Cops are not judges, juries, and executioners. Their job is to uphold the law only. We live in a country where you are innocent until PROVEN guilty. Count me in the minority here apparently, but I'd rather people be brought to justice alive, because we are a civilized country and a civilized people. No one is defending the actions of the criminal (at least in here), but at no point did the man deserve to be shot and killed. And all victims, and their families, are entitled to civil suits for wrongful death or whatever the crime may be. From the looks of this, this criminal, is the VICTIM of a wrongful death. It actually is possible to be a perpetrator and a victim...
^^^this^^^, there is a second video, from the other block when the foot chase started.
If it is true the initial gun shotgun was from the criminal and he still had a gun in his hand at the time of being shot, then what is the concern with this shooting?
