Don't know why everyone makes him out a hero

Because under any other circumstances his case wouldn't have been politicized and accused of murder. He was assaulted, threatened by a man with a handgun, and as he attempted to retreat to police he was attacked.

People think of him as a hero because he is doing the job police would normally do: stopping people from burning down buildings.

How can you see him as anything other than the victim here?
