I note that the article says someone commented that the suspect who was shot was a "good and respected person." So why is he confronting police with a stolen handgun?

Typical reaction for certain elements.

I don't know...back in the day before I had too many kids I wanted to be a police officer. Didn't they used to emphasize shooting to disable? There might be a grave situation where you might have to shoot to kill...but it might happen once in a decade. When did things start to go so extremely wrong?

Second night of protests including a shooting.

Seems like a legitimate shooting with the suspect being shot twice in the front including one to the chest.

There could be some shootings to frustrated or upset about but these protests were after the fact. This shooting was two years ago.
