DA: Cops completely justified shooting East Boston guy who was trying to murder them from nine inches away

Suffolk County District Attorney Dan Conley yesterday released a report supporting his determination that:

Boston Police Officers Matthew Morris and Eric Schmidt acted in lawful self-defense, defense of each other, and defense of Officer Richard Cintolo when they discharged their weapons at Kirk Patrick Figueroa, 33, on the night of Oct. 12, 2016.

You can download and read the report below; the short version is that if you put on body armor and open fire on police officers from a few inches away after they respond to your roommate's call to 911, they have the right to defend themselves, using deadly force if necessary.
