Hard to say. The guy had just violently shoved another guy and was aggressively walking toward the cop. I was surprised that a guy with his pants down around his ankles could walk so fast.
You have to be real here. The cop doesn’t know what exactly is going on.
There is a physical confrontation involving a guy with his pants down.
The suspect is not far away, advancing quickly on the officer.
The officer rightly draws his service weapon. (21 foot rule)
And you want the officer to holster his weapon and pull out his taser??? TOO LATE you could be DEAD!
Woulda, coulda, shoulda, but it does appear to be a righteous shoot.
So what is the deciding factor in a "righteous shoot"? Is it merely an uncertain situation where the officer may possibly be in danger? Or is it something more strict than that?
