I think you are wrong. Society very often sides with the side that is perceived as the threatened person acting in self-defense even when they use violence.
Also we cannot rule out racism. If the killer wasn't white (then fit for the role of hero in the US), it would be all different.

Yes, always.
But I think it's a pretty high burden of proof to convince me that murder is OK, or that it should be celebrated.

I think very few people would consider killing someone in cold blood an actual act of self defense.
I could be wrong of course. Hard to tell how people genuinely feel without some kind of real survey.

I'm not sure what you mean here, could you explain?
