Doesn't the killer in "Contrived Self-Defense" have to be ready to spare the victim before he kills him, Baker just shoots Cummings.
I think in an "Unsatisfying" case, you have to want a better death for the victim, I personally really didn't care what happened to Cummings, or this movie itself for that matter.
The only really unsatisfying thing, is that Mitchell really didn't have to be a pig the rest of his life, he was given a chance to live the good life and turns it down. Mitchell is definitely not an incorruptible knight-in-shining-armor good guy, but he did resist the temptation to throw his crappy life away for a new one, all in the name of the law. He not only throws his only chance at a cushy retirement away, but then goes on to arrest the only woman who ever truly loved him! Everyone says that this is a bad movie, but behind the MST riffs, it really did have a dreary element to it. A somewhat sad ending, but in a satisfying way.
Story of my life...
Life should be
Good memories and times
Children on a sunny day
Believin' that it's only play
Every day I find,
Life is still on my mind...
