all of which gets to the laws of engagement that requires the cop to stop the perp by any means at his disposal at that point.
***************************
Firstly there are no “laws of engagement” , rules YES , secondly the man did not engage the cop , the cop engaged him , the man simply bested the cop when he caught up with him , he did not harm the cop , and then he continued to run ,,, YOU SAY HE DESERVED DEATH FOR THAT? You’re just a punk bootlicker... we live in a surveillance police state , there is no way this should have ended in a mans death when he could have been picked up later that evening or the next day at his job...
The cop knew he murdered that man ,, he planted evidence next to the body to support YOUR POSITION that it was a good shoot... Well , if it was a good shoot why the need to plant evidence.
I'll bet that made Slager mad enough to kill.
Oh, wait...
