Default Protests in MN after Boogie Smith shot by US Marshals

So some guy named Booger Smith (or Boogie Smith), a black guy, was shot by US Marshals. The US Marshals claim they shot Booger because:

"Authorities said Friday that Smith was wanted on a weapons violation and fired a gun before two deputies shot him while he was inside a parked vehicle. Members of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force were trying to arrest him on a warrant for allegedly being a felon in possession of a gun.

Family and friends described Smith as a father of three who was often harassed by police. They are demanding transparency in the investigation and have asked that anyone who might have video footage to come forward."

Couple of questions...

1. Why was Booger in possession of a firearm?
2. During these protests, did the peaceful protestors acknowledge how Mr. Booger might have brought this on himself?
3. The article literally states "he [Booger] was often harassed by police". Gee, I can't imagine why?! Any guesses?!
4. Protestors demand a "transparent" investigation. Well, how about he shot at LEOs and got dusted? What is more transparent than that?

Is this the new way? Any black person shot by police, no matter what they do, will have riots in their honor?

Did these rioters give any thoughts to rioting for the 10+ people shot by other black people in Chicago this weekend?
